Hello! My name is Rafael. I live in Rio (Brazil) and I am a native speaker of Brazilian Portuguese, having worked with journalism, translation (English to Portuguese and Portuguese to English), writing content related to culture and the arts and proofreading legal and financial documents over the last 12 years. I have a vast experience in job positions related to text and articles: during all of my academic and professional career, my various occupations have always been associated to language and writing. Over the course of my career, I have worked for the following companies and vehicles: • Aliança Traduções, a translation agency where I work as a proofreader and translator. I regularly translate and proofread financial and legal documents for the agency. • O Século Diário, an electronic newspaper from Vitória (Espírito Santo), where I worked as a reporter, writing daily pieces on the arts and culture in the Capital. • Rede Cultura Jovem, a government institution aimed at fostering cultural projects and researches in Vitória, which gave me a scholarship to write my monograph on musical criticism in the 2000’s. • Ana Couto Branding, a branding company where I worked as a proofreader. I was in charge of proofreading every writing piece the company produced, from PowerPoint presentations to brochure and catalogue mockups. I was also responsible for standardizing the language used in the company’s products. • Galgarpia Editora, a content agency, where I worked as a freelance collaborator both for writing and translating articles using Search Engine Optimization (SEO) techniques, for relationship and sex education blogs. • O Estado de São Paulo, one of the biggest newspapers in Brazil, where I enrolled as a trainee and was hired as a reporter. There, I had various positions, where I proofread articles and readers’ letters, edited content and wrote original pieces on music, movies, restaurants and events in São Paulo. • Cinesesc and CCBB SP, respectively a movie theater and a cultural center in São Paulo (State of São Paulo), which hosted the 6th Panorama of Contemporary Swiss Cinema, a movie festival showcasing Switzerland’s directors and movies. I am available for the following services: • English to Portuguese translation (technical, legal, financial and literary). • Portuguese to English translation (technical, legal, financial and literary). • Portuguese transcription. • Editing and proofreading (website, newspaper and literary articles, blog posts, essays, etc.). • Content writing and research (newspaper articles, essays, blog posts, SEO texts and cultural articles).

Hi there, my name is Tatiane Botelho. I am a native Brazilian Portuguese speaker with more than 15 years of experience in the English language. I manually translate and proofread each document to ensure high-quality results. My translations are very well written and adapted to sound as natural as possible.

My recent translations include niches such as: • Information Technology • Novels • Games • Finance Terms • Digital Marketing • Advertising Feel free to check out some of my work. Hope we work together : )
