About

Native Portuguese speaker, near-native Spanish (LatAm) with 7 years of professional translation and localisation experience. I understand the cultural nuances between markets — Mexican, Colombian, Argentine, Venezuelan Spanish all have distinct registers — and I'll flag when something doesn't translate, not just linguistically but culturally.

Carlos V. · Expansión Digital

February 2026

Ana is extraordinary. She doesn't just translate — she makes the content feel native. More than once she came back and said 'this phrase won't land the way you want in Mexican Spanish — here's an alternative.'

Nina P. · Luxe Arabia FZCO

January 2026

Ana localised our entire LatAm product launch — 8,000 words in 9 days. Every deadline met, zero quality issues, no back and forth required.

Rob M. · ClearLedger Co.

October 2025

We needed our app localised for Brazil and Mexico simultaneously. Ana managed both in parallel, kept them clearly organised, and delivered ahead of schedule.
