I have been living in Brazil for the last 33 years, and began working as an English teacher. I eventually moved into teacher supervision and training, and also have experience in distance learning content preparation and delivery.

In 1991, I was offered interpretation work and gradually shifted my professional focus to text translation/revision and conference interpretation, now being a full-time, self-employed translator and interpreter. I also continue involved in pedagogical activities, coaching students for international language proficiency examinations and international negotiations.
