Being born into a family of linguists, I have obtained an incredibly wide understanding of the English and Portuguese languages from a very early age. Therefore, I have been practising translation since the age of 15 and have excellent writing, reading, and comprehension skills in both languages. Furthermore, having lived in both England and Portugal, I have a rare cultural knowledge in both English and Portuguese. At the moment I am finishing my degree in Applied Languages in "Universidade do Minho". This degree has given me the ability to specialize in Law, Economics and Computing Translation. I also have extremely good computer and keyboarding skills, as I have been translating for 5 years. Moreover, I am self-motivated, very organized and disciplined. When working with me, you can expect: As a translator, I am a firm believer in translating ideas, concepts and culture, rather than words. I am used to and very good at working under tight deadlines. My working language pairs are the following: English - Portuguese German - Portuguese Portuguese - English
