Bio

I was born in Argentina and moved with my family to Brazil at the age of two, thus growing up bi-lingual for Spanish and Portuguese. In my childhood  I studied English in private classes for seven consecutive years, as my
mother is an English teacher. After finishing high school I worked as a private
English and Spanish teacher.

In
2013 I lived in Canada (Toronto, ON) as a researcher in a post-doc internship
at York University.

My
professional background is in Environmental Science, in which I have a PhD from
São Paulo University (Brazil).  

I have
professional translation experience mainly in the environmental field, and
enjoy researching subjects including environmental education, animal rights, science and education in general. 

I have worked for companies such as GIZ, Net4Help and Hello, translating over 40.000 words, and as a volunteer translator for a Brazilian NGO (ANDA) and for TED Talks, with another 6.000 words of text and over 60 minutes of video translated.
