\nAdriana Caraccio Morgan<\/p>\n

Where I live:<\/strong><\/em>
\nSantos, State of S\u00e3o Paulo, in Brazil<\/p>\n

Email:<\/strong><\/em>
\nadriana@cmorgan.com.br<\/a><\/p>\n

What I do:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>
\nI am a sworn translator in Brazil and I have been translating since 1998, working from English into Portuguese (BR). My strong areas are law and finance, but I also translate clinical research and IT materials. I am also in the audiovisual arena \u2015both dubbing and subtitling\u2015 and I am the Lead External Specialist for Dropbox, which means, in practice, that I am the final reviewer for everything related to their localization into Brazilian Portuguese.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m proud of:<\/strong><\/em>
\nMy achievements as a translator.<\/p>\n

My background:<\/strong><\/em>
\nI have two degrees \u2015 Social Communication (Advertising) and Law.\u00a0In my previous\u00a0lives, I owned a souvenir shop, was a tourist guide and travel agent in Santos, and worked at Deutsche Bank for seven years. I decided to embrace translation as a new career at the age of 31 and never looked back.<\/p>\n

Why do I belong to the PLD?<\/strong><\/em>
\nI think we need to be part of groups and associations; we can achieve a lot more together.<\/p>\n

Major challenge(s) in my career:<\/strong><\/em>
\nLife-work balance. I tend to work too much.<\/p>\n

What I\u2019m reading (or listening to) now:<\/strong><\/em>
\n\u201cWays to Live Forever<\/a>,\u201d by Sally Nichols, about a boy with leukemia.<\/p>\n

Current project (or last interesting project\/job):<\/em><\/strong>
\nFor two weeks I\u2019ve been working on contracts into English, bank manuals into Portuguese, my daily Dropbox projects and some episodes of \u201cThe Last Ship\u201d (season 3), \u201cInnovation Nation\u201d (TV series) and \u201cThe Seventies\u201d (for CNN). I love this job!!<\/p>\n
