(please send a photo)<\/p>\n

Name: <\/em><\/strong>Carmen Reis<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Where you live \u00a0<\/em><\/strong>S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Email:\u00a0 <\/em><\/strong>carmen@sintagma.trd.br<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

What you\u2019re doing these days: (translator\/interpreter\/teacher\/professor) <\/em><\/strong>I own a translation and interpretation business in Brazil and work as a translator, interpreter, and subtitler.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Something you\u2019re proud of:\u00a0 <\/em><\/strong>I\u2019m proud of being trusted by fellow translators and interpreters. They often invite me to collaborate with them on projects, and I genuinely appreciate that.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

A bit of your background: <\/em><\/strong>I worked at language schools for about 10 years as both a language tutor and an educational coordinator. I then got my bachelor\u2019s degree in \u201cLanguages \u2013 Translation & Interpreting\u201d from UNIBERO and took a Conference Interpreting specialization course at PUC-SP. Then I worked as an in-house translator for five years and started my own business in 2008. It has been an interesting journey.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

How long have you been with the ATA? And a PLD member? <\/em><\/strong>It\u2019s been on and off, but I first became an ATA and PLD member in 2015, when I attended my first ATA conference in Chicago. It was great, by the way!<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

What did the ATA membership and\/or the PLD bring to you? <\/em><\/strong>The ATA has always been my favorite translator\u2019s association because it provides us with valuable tools, enriching conferences, and exciting meetups. I truly enjoy catching up with my ATA colleagues and feeling like I\u2019m part of a community.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Current project (or last interesting project\/job): <\/em><\/strong>I love working on projects involving social causes. I have had several opportunities connected to women\u2019s rights and racial and LGBTQIA+ issues. I have also done some recent work on equitable access to education. These are the opportunities I most cherish.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

A major challenge(s) in your career: <\/em><\/strong>Impostor syndrome, definitely. I\u2019m always working on different topics in different settings, so there is no routine. I have to be ready for anything that comes my way, and sometimes my self-confidence gets shaken. But then I take a deep breath and face the challenge head-on.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Do you have a hobby? <\/em><\/strong>I love traveling, meditating, dancing, and listening to audiobooks.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

What is your favorite book in Portuguese Language literature?<\/em><\/strong> It\u2019s hard to pick just one, but Ensaio sobre a Cegueira<\/em> (Blindness<\/em>, by Jos\u00e9 Saramago) really had a big impact on me. I\u2019ve read it several times, and it never gets old.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Currently on your reading list: <\/em><\/strong>I\u2019ve been trying to read in French and currently venturing into La Femme Rompue<\/em>, by Simone de Beauvoir.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Thank you, Carmen. <\/strong><\/p>\n

We really appreciate the opportunity to learn a little more about you.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thanks for the opportunity to share a bit about me and for the amazing work you all do at the Portuguese Language Division. Looking forward to meeting you all in person!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
