Bio
I've been working as freelancer translator since 2006, after my graduation in Translation, and since then, I've been teaching at the same school. I normally work for news agencies, newspapers, and for translation agencies in areas such as Law and Contracts, Oil, Gas & Environment, International Relations, Public & Foreign Affairs, and more recently I start working on Medical Translations. I also work for online editors translating books to Portuguese and my very first translated novel to Portuguese is called O Problema com Scarlett (The Problem With Scarlett, by Martin Turnbull) has been published by relevant bookstores [Amazon, Apple, Scribd, Barns&Noble, Tolino, and Kodo]. I'm actually working on another novel written by Martin Turnbull, which original title is The Garden on Sunset, and I'm also working on a historical fiction book, which title is The Return of The Marines: Tales of The Marines in The Near Future, by Jonathan P. Brazee. My experience due to a long and prosperous career in the Brazilian Marines gave me the necessary expertise to work on such a kind of military fiction. Any additional details about my career in the Marines and my U.N Mission in Uganda and Rwanda in 1993-94, please, feel free to ask.
