They call me a translator because "multitasking language ninja" was already taken.

Maria vana

Graduated in Law and International Legal Sciences (Bachelor and Master's Degree) and with acquired professional experience in the Legal Area, Translation and Library, Information and Documentation Sciences and Technologies.

I have a great sense of ethics and responsibility and I'm known to be a diligent and rigorous professional. I have communication skills and a high learning ability, and I am very meticulous and creative when it comes to my work. I am also extremely self-disciplined and self-taught. I am a multilingual individual (currently speaking 3 languages on a daily basis).

For the past 10 years, I have mainly been focusing in gaining experience as a translator, transcriber and proofreader

I love books and for that reason I even worked for 5 years in a library. I don't mind reading books in English, in fact it is a great exercise for me as a non-native, since it helps me to practice what I already know and also to continue learning (we never know everything). But I get frustrated whenever I discover a great book that I would like to recommend to my friends and family and I can't because it's not available in Portuguese. That is why I would like to give my contribution and help authors reach a wider audience.
