After working as a research Chemist for many years I switched to communications – translating documents from Portuguese into English and editing and structuring complex documents in English. My client focus is two-fold, about 60% of the translations I do are in the clinical trials and pharmaceuticals field (package inserts, EMA documents, patents, etc), The balance of my work tends to be contracts, other patents, financial statements, and business plans, etc.
In all cases I leverage my skills as a researcher to provide well structured, consistent, and readable content in English.

•
Pharmaceuticals - translating patents on the biomedical applications of chemicals into and out of Portuguese/English
