Profile

I was born son of a Farming Technician and a Garden Designer, on august the 12th, 1976, in Uruguay. I began my English studies at the age of 8 at the Anglo-Uruguayan Cultural Institute, studies that I finished 10 years after, obtaining my Proficiency in English certificate (granted by Cambridge University, UK).

I first came into contact with the translation world when I entered the agronomy college at the Universidad de la República (Uruguayan national university) in 1995, translating several scientific publications, as part of the bibliography is published in English.

My association with Portuguese began later, as I was finishing my studies and got involved with Social Sciences, as the publications of which frequently come from Brazil. After spending several years to and from as well as experiencing an intense personal and professional relation with Brazil, I decided to move to Florianopolis (a city located in southern Brazil), where I have lived, together with my beloved Katia (a Brazilian citizen), for the last ten years of my life.

As an Agricultural Engineer, I have developed and incorporated different and effective bibliography investigative methodologies, which allow me to find any kind of information I need. On the other hand, since I was a child, and due to my inquisitive and curious nature, I have a keen interest in a wide range of human activities, with particular emphasis on natural and social sciences, geography, history and arts. A combination of my very nature and my academic formation have turned me into an assiduous reader and web explorer, which has contributed to deepen my knowledge of the languages I regularly make use of (Spanish, Portuguese and English).

Where I live

Founded "Nossa Senhora do Desterro" by Portuguese sailors in the eighteenth century, Florianópolis is the capital city of the state of Santa Catarina in southern Brazil.

Cosmopolitan, lively and famous for its 100 beaches, the city thrives with tourists from all around the world, principally during the summer, when temperatures rise to 30° Celsius.

One of the cities most remarkable features is its natural landscape, dominated by densely forested hills rising 400 meters from the Atlantic ocean.
