Bio
Academic diplomas: Ph.D. in English Literature and M.A. in Comparative Literature as well as teaching degree in Portuguese and English, all of which were earned with original research on the theoretical and practical aspects of literary translation.

Professional experience: Around seventy book-length translations from English, Norwegian and Swedish published by some of the most prestigious publishing houses in Brazil, such as Companhia das Letras, Alfaguara, L&PM and Hedra, among others; around two hundred comic book translations from DC/Vertigo titles; postgraduate seminars and classes on the subject of literary translation offered as a translator in residence at Trinity College Dublin (Ireland) and as a lecturer at PUC-RS (Brazil); several translation workshops for the general public offered at Galeria Hipotética (Brazil); one year of experience as a technical translator; experience in subtitling.

English certificates: Cambridge CPE, Michigan ECPE and TOEFL ITP.
Norwegian certificates: Advanced Norwegian (Bokmål - UiB) and New Norwegian (Nynorsk - UiO).

I have been awarded scholarships as a translator in residence in Hungary (Magyar Fordítóház), Ireland (Ireland Literature Exchange), Norway (Oversetterhotell) and Switzerland (Übersetzerhaus Looren).

In 2016 I was nominated for the Jabuti prize for best book-length translation published in Brazil for my work on Karl Ove Knausgård's Min kamp 4, released in Brazil as "A ilha da infância".

Over the years, I have been involved in both extremely large (over 500,000 words) and extremely long (over five years) translations, often as the sole translator responsible for the entire project. Some of these were also highly confidential and included tight related to worldwide book launches.

As an award-nominated translator with a very strong academic and professional background in literature, I am mostly interested in projects where close attention to style and to the nuances of language are at the forefront.
