Bio

In the early years of my career, someone told me that the work of a translator is similar to that of a detective. At first, I was surprised and thought: Like Poirot? 🕵🏻‍♀️

No, it is not exactly like Poirot. However, it is true that translator and detectives share common traits, such as:

➡️ Patience

➡️ Attention to detail

➡️ Resourcefulness

➡️ Curiosity

➡️ Flexibility

While I may not solve crimes, I've spent 15+ years solving countless linguistic cases, uncovering intricate meanings, and reconstructing complex "crime scenes" — consistently delivering high-quality results in European Portuguese. 

I am here to help you unravel the mystery of words and pinpoint their true significance. Let me assist you in finding the right solutions, ensuring your message resonates perfectly with the Portuguese reader.
