A little bit about me:

Hello! I'm Lachesis, a conference interpreter and certified translator with a passion for connecting people, languages and cultures.

Originally from Brazil, I completed much of my academic education and specialised training in translation and conference interpreting in the United Kingdom. I am currently based in London, but have also lived in the United States. These experiences, combined with my international academic and professional background, have deepened my understanding of both Portuguese and English and broadened my appreciation of the cultural nuances that shape communication.

Working across the United Kingdom, Europe, Brazil and beyond, I bring my linguistic expertise and cultural insight to a wide range of international events and professional settings.

My work is driven by a truly international outlook and a deep appreciation of the linguistic and cultural subtleties that make communication meaningful.
