Caroline Santiago
English - Brazilian Portuguese Linguist
I am a professional with over 13 years of experience in translation and proofreading of documents in the fields of mechanical engineering, telecommunications, aviation, IT, tourism, NGOs, corporate training, religious content, and other sectors. Throughout my career, I have translated and reviewed more than 15 million words, ensuring quality and accuracy in every project.
Currently, I am expanding my expertise into conference interpreting and RSI (remote simultaneous interpreting), in the same areas where I already work in translation. I am also deepening my knowledge of Translation Project Management through a postgraduate program at Faculdade Phorte.
I am an advanced user of SDL Trados Studio, with basic knowledge of MemoQ, and I am always open to learning new CAT tools as needed.
Committed to continuous development, I strive to enhance both my technical skills and interpersonal abilities to provide high-quality services in all the areas I work in.
