Why Me?
What makes you the best person for your job?
I am a young, enthusiastic and assiduous female, conscious of current affairs. I have a 1st Class Honours Degree in Pharmacy from Sao Paulo university, the best university in Latin America. I'm a perfectionist and I embody all the necessary attributes to be an excellent translator: hard working, passionate and take pride in all that I do. I have spent time abroad to improve my skills in translation and to better improve my understanding of colloquial English in the US, Canada and Great Britain, and which I have found to have been a priceless experience.

What is your best project so far? Why?
Translation of a Manual for a Capillary Electrophoresis Apparatus; Translation of a Pharmaceutical Patent
