Available to hire
I’m a meticulous and dynamic PhD history student and translator with extensive editorial and fact-checking experience in academic and literary contexts. I’m driven by a desire to learn and skilled in ensuring grammatical precision, verifying facts, and enforcing style consistency across content.\n\nI’m adept at managing remote editorial workflows—including translation, podcast scripting, and digital publishing—for international audiences. With more than ten years of experience working in languages—as an English teacher in diverse international settings—I’m a native English speaker fluent in Portuguese and Spanish, with a knack for quick adaptation to AP style and SEO headline writing.
