About Me

THE BEGINNING

It all started in a Portuguese village…

My neighbour, a widow old woman, was waiting for me downstairs.
I was wondering about what she was doing there and why she needed me…

Then I saw she was handling two letters. ‘I can’t understand these letters’, she said. ‘Could you please have a look and tell me their meaning?’

The letters were written in French. How could she understand them? Several husbands had emigrated to France many years ago. When they passed away, the widows, who had never been to France, started receiving letters from French institutions.

At that time, I was a teenager studying French and English. From then on, I helped her and others by translating French content to Portuguese. It was a time without computers, internet, or machine translation…

This is how I would describe my work style

I believe empathy is crucial in life. Having this in mind, this is what you can expect from me:

I’m professional, yet friendly
I don’t rush, but still work efficiently
I deliver the project when I say I will
I ask questions and give you options to ensure I deliver your tone of voice, not mine
I’m not shy to point out what won’t fly with a Portuguese audience
I’m always open to feedback.

My non-profit CouldYou? has benefitted tremendously by the incredible translation work of Fernanda Goncalves. She is an exceptional translator who delivers consistent, high quality work. Fernanda is the only one I trust translating top level government documents that we present to the Government of Mozambique about our work. Fernanda is a great asset to CouldYou? and would be a great asset to anyone she works with.
