Graca Pinheiro de Carvalho (translator)

(not rated yet)

i´m brazilian (native:portuguese), but i live in peru and speak spanish and english.

My name is Graca Pinheiro and I was born in Fortaleza, Brazil. I´m 41, I´m married to a chilean and we´re now living with our daughter in Lima, Perú. My native language is Portuguese, but I´m also fluent in English (Cambridge CPE in 2014) and in Spanish. 

I´m a medical doctor, my specialty is pulmonology, and I worked as both a doctor (Brazil) and a teacher (Brazil, Chile) from 2005-2012. Since we moved to Peru (because of my husband´s job) and because paperwork here is so complicated, I decided to start studying something different. As I´ve always liked languages, books, and history, I started to study translation in Lima. 

I´m currently in my 4th semester (of 6) and my objective is to become a literary translator, particularly of historic books (essays or novels).

A group of colleagues told me to try this website as a way to practice and gain experience, that´s why I´m here. I´d be glad to take part in your translations or any practice related to this area.
