A practice built across law, language and editorial work.
My work sits at the intersection of legal reasoning, linguistic precision and editorial judgment. A legal education informs how I approach structure, terminology and consequence; translation and localization bring those principles into contact with voice, audience and use.
Across legal, game, editorial and linguistic QA contexts, I translate between English and Brazilian Portuguese with particular attention to the decisions that allow a text to function naturally without losing what makes it precise.
My interest in the relationship between law, technology and human judgment has also led me to complete AI, Justice, and the Rule of Law, a course developed by the University of Oxford’s Saïd Business School in partnership with UNESCO. It has sharpened my attention to questions of fairness, transparency and accountability in my work evaluating AI-generated language — the same scrutiny I apply to any text whose consequences depend on precision.
Precision without erasure.
