I have a degree in Physics Engineering from the Lisbon University and afterwards I did my Ph.D in Switzerland (at CERN) in the field of nuclear physics applied to material science.
After the Ph.D, I was offered the opportunity to work with a renowned company of technology development, to translate several technical manuals related with lasers, water pumps and a semiconductor cutting machine used in industry.
Since then, I realized my passion for languages, especially for translation. The fact that I’ve worked abroad for the past 8 years had gave me not only the scientific knowledgebut also the language background, since my working languages were always English and French (speaking, reading and writing).
The experience with Spanish is as old as me. I was born in a Portuguese town just across the Spanish border and some members of my family are Spanish, so for me Spanish has always been my second mother tongue.
