About

After two decades working with text — writing, translating, editing and refining it — I am now returning to what has always driven me: the voice and its music. I rediscovered that voice is the natural extension of my profession, and I bring 20 years of experience in written communication into the microphone — the same attention to detail, rhythm, intention and meaning.

My voice is female, clear, warm and natural, with a mezzo-soprano range and good extension. I work in narrative, institutional, audiobooks, e-learning, web and animation, adapting expressively to different audiences. I am fluent in English (neutral reading) and a native European Portuguese speaker.
