As I am a Nietzsche researcher and a student of Auguste Comte's philosophy, my literaty translations cover several papers from Spanish / English into Portuguese with those subjects as a target. I've been published my translations in specialized magazines like Estudos Nietzsche.
I also translated an narrative from Portuguese into English that dealt with Michel Foucault's visit to Brazil during the 1970s written by a famous Brazilian professor and published by Columbia University Press.

As a Classicist, translating literature is one of my biggest pleasures. Unfortunately, one of the hardest to come by, outside the academic world or the pro bono challenges of cultural associations. As a specialist in Ancient Greek tragedy, I have found that translating for modern theatre is equally fascinating. As a comics addict, I would be more than happy to venture in the field of translating speech balloons!

My specialization in Cultural Management allows authors to obtain a complete consulting service with "complicity". Moreover, my 25-years experience as an award-winning journalist is a quality assurance for any writer or publisher. My advanced studies in music and the experience in playing instruments give confidence in the approach of any score, a fundamental condition for understanding any song.

After 4 years living in Rio de Janeiro, I'm now happy to call Barcelona home! While my experience in Portuguese to English literary translation has culminated in a Brazilian science fiction novel published by the author on Amazon.com, in terms of Spanish to English, I translated a history of a section of Catalonia's Costa Brava by a local author. I also have an MA from the University of Cambridge in English and had one of my own poems shortlisted for the Keats-Shelley Prize in 2015.

I don't have a favourite genre, but the authors I enjoyed to read the most were Kafka, Aldous Huxley, Zola, Cormac McCarthy, Murakami, Tolstoy, Tcheckov, Ali Smith, Virginia Woolf, Jeanette Winterson, Selim Özdogan, among others. I am not a fan of fantasy. I love reading comics like the ones from Jiro Taniguchi, Quino or Bill Watterson. So far I have translated short stories and Theatre Plays in Seminars at the University and two books of Özdogan for my recreation.

I am currently doing a translation of "Os da minha rua" by the Angolan author Ondjaki for my MA thesis at Wake Forest University. In order to preserve the Angolan flavor of the work while still providing a translation that is just as witty and idiomatic as Ondjaki's original, I am utilizing a new translation methodology that treats cultural elements differently than idiomatic or stylistic elements.
