I started studying English when I was 10 years old. Until I was 18 I was enrolled at a regular course, then I started university. I decided to be a Mechanical Engineer. During my years at college I had lots of opportunities to practice and develop in the English language. I worked as a scientific initiation student in the Material area and I had to read lots of scientific articles in English. I also published several articles myself, in English and Portuguese.

I also had the opportunity to learn another language, French. I participated in an International Exchange program in Mechanical Engineering. From February 2002 to July 2003 I studied at Université de Technologie de Compiègne (UTC), Compiègne, Françe. And after that I did an internship at Arcelor in Fos-sur-Mer from August 2003 to January 2004. It was onde of the best experiences in my life!

I worked as an engineer for 10 years and I had never tought that I would become a teacher. I started giving English and French classes in 2017 and liked it so much that I started my second graduation in Languages in 2018. And now I am starting to explore another field in this area: translation.

I am a proactive and entrepreneur-minded person, I am organized and able to work independently with little supervision and I have strong analytical skills. I have excellent interpersonal, communication and leadership skills. I have always been highly interested in learning.

Proz will help me to develop in translation, to learn and to become the professional that I want to be.
