Native Portuguese translator with a Law background, translating legal, academic, and creative texts with precision and voice

I'm a native Portuguese speaker from Brazil, currently completing a Law degree in Porto Alegre. Throughout my studies, I've developed hands-on experience with legal and institutional writing, including internships in the Brazilian judicial system, where I worked directly with court documents, judicial reports, and formal case materials in areas such as criminal execution and domestic violence proceedings. This background gave me a solid command of legal vocabulary and the kind of precision required when accuracy actually matters, not just as a translation exercise but in contexts where the wording carries real consequences.

Alongside my legal training, I'm also a visual artist and a writer working on my own book project. This side of my work has shaped the way I approach language: I pay close attention to tone, rhythm, and voice, not just literal meaning. I understand that a good translation isn't a mechanical word-for-word conversion, but a text that reads naturally in the target language while remaining faithful to what the original is actually trying to say. This sensitivity is especially useful for subtitles, captions, and creative or literary translation, where the goal is to preserve how something feels, not just what it says.

I translate a wide range of content between Portuguese and English, including:

Legal and academic documents, contracts, and formal texts
Subtitles, captions, and transcriptions for films, series, and video content
Articles, general texts, and business materials
Creative and literary writing, including personal projects and books

I bring both technical precision and a strong sense of language and voice to every project. I'm detail-oriented, meet deadlines consistently, and communicate clearly throughout the process, from clarifying scope at the start to delivering a polished final text. Whether the project is a formal legal document or a creative piece that needs to preserve tone and nuance, I approach each translation with the same care and attention.

I'd be glad to discuss your project in more detail and provide a translation that reads naturally while staying true to the original.
