Born in Portugal, Elisabete has always been passionate about languages from an early age. That’s why she decided to engage in translation studies in the first place. She graduated in Specialized Translation in 2002 and, since the beginning of her freelance career, she has been providing translation and proofreading services to both national and international companies and individuals.
Among her major areas of interest are technical, medical and pharmaceuticals, videogames and online games, advertising, and tourism, as well as website localization and information technology.
In addition to her regular assignments, she also undertakes pro-bono translation work. She is a member of Traducteurs Sans Frontières (Translators Without Borders), volunteering her time as a translator whenever necessary. She also collaborates as a volunteer to ADNG Diving and to Associação Portuguesa de Coelhos Anões (Portuguese Association of Dwarf Rabbits), the latter mainly because of her deep love for animals and her strong desire to donate her work to these causes.
She takes great pride in her work as a freelance translator and proofreader and strives for quality in every assignment she is trusted with. She is also planning to study Italian and to complete her studies in Russian.
In her spare time, she enjoys all fitness-related activities, as well as reading, traveling, going to the movies, and spending time with family and friends.
