Marina E.
PT-EN Translator & Voice Artist | Localization Strategist | Columbia U
I help brands speak Brazilian Portuguese accurately, naturally and with the right voice. With native fluency in English and Brazilian Portuguese, I provide end-to-end language services across two disciplines: Translation & Localization (EN ↔ PT-BR): I adapt marketing, website, brand, and corporate content for Brazilian and U.S. audiences not just word-for-word but culturally. My background in brand strategy (including work for major Brazilian brands at Thymus Branding in São Paulo) means I understand how messaging lands differently across markets. I also created the first Portuguese-language NYC tourist guide, bringing Brazilian travelers into the U.S. market. Portuguese Voice Acting: I offer Brazilian Portuguese voice work for commercial, e-learning, explainer, and corporate projects. I record in a professional home setup and deliver broadcast-ready audio. I've supported clients across hospitality, wellness, consumer goods, and nonprofit sectors including work on U.S.-LATAM market entry and campaigns for international brands. My Columbia MS in Strategic Communication deepened my understanding of clear, concise messaging and that shapes every translation and localization project I take on. Languages: English (native) | Brazilian Portuguese (native) | Spanish (fluent)
