Bio

Having lived and worked in South Africa as a process engineer for a number of years,
English quickly became my second language. On returning to Portugal, I became a
full time technical translator from English to Portuguese, specializing in the
translation, post-editing and revision of patents in the fields of:

- pharmaceuticals (microbiology, molecular biology, proteins, monoclonal
antibodies, synthetic and analytical procedures, laboratory testing)

- chemistry (organic, inorganic, physical, analytical, biochemistry)

- chemical engineering (pulp and paper, polymers, chemical products, etc)

- metallurgy, materials engineering, etc.

I work on a freelance basis for local and international intellectual property agencies on
behalf of clients such as Abbott Laboratories, AbbVie, Grünenthal, Merck Sharp
& Dohme, Genentech, SmithKline Beecham, Degremont, Pharmacia & Upjohn.

Qualifications:

BSc Chem Eng., Technical University of Lisbon

Diploma in Translation from the Institute of Linguists, UK (Merit in General
translation, Distinction in Technology and Distinction in Science).

Qualities:

- Always within the deadline – never, ever, delivered a job after deadline

- Accurate – keep myself terminology updated by attending short courses in biochemistry, expert consulting and my own 4000-word glossary blog.

Tools: SDL Trados 2015

Rates: Revision - 0.020 EUR/word; Post-editing – 0.035 EUR/word; Translation – 0.05 EUR/word
