Bio
Dear Sirs,

My name is Clara Boardman, and I'm very interested in working as a freelance translator/proofreader (English and French to Brazilian Portuguese and vice versa, and Spanish to Brazilian Portuguese). I have worked for organizations such as Atlantic Capital Consultoria Financeira, Tecassistiva Tecnologia e Acessibilidade, Casa de Rui Barbosa Foundation, and Dannemann, Siemsen, Bigler & Ipanema Moreira (total of 193,120 words translated and more than 6 hours of cassette types' transcription), which have significantly increased my skills as a translator and a proofreader. Besides having a professional and educational background in Social Sciences (master's degree), Librarianship, Languages (English, including English literature and French), I am a responsible and flexible translator and proficient in several CAT Tools.  

For Casa de Rui Foundation, I provided services to prepare originals, revise and edit the Proceedings of the II Luso-Brazilian Meeting of Museums-House. (6 cassette tapes, 190,000 words).

These included transcription, preparation, revision, and editing for publication purposes of transcribed texts from the recordings on six cassette tapes (60 minutes each cassette tape, a total of 190,000 words) of lectures, round tables, and communications held in the auditorium of Casa de Rui Barbosa Foundation, comprising:

1. Reading the texts;
2. Spelling and grammar proofreading;
3. Standardization of use of forms and capitals;
4. Interlocution with authors to clarify doubts;
5. Text editing;
6. Reference, through numbering, of the information in the texts with those of the PowerPoint presented by the seminar participants;
7. Preparation of explanatory notes;
8. Adequacy to the Foundation editorial standards regarding citations and bibliographic references.
 
I performed these services within ninety days, the term demanded by the Foundation.

Expertise: Marketing and Publicity, Legal Sector (trademarks and patents), Finance, Business, Economics, Librarianship, cultural, academic, and literary texts and documents
Rate: US$ 0.03 per source word / US$ 12 per hour
