Hello!
Academic achievements
- I hold a PhD in Didactics of Languages and Cultures from the prestigious Sorbonne University, where I also worked as a Research Assistant
- Postgraduate degree in Cultural Tourism from Aix-Marseille University
- Master’s degree in International Management and Logistics from the Université de Savoie
- Bachelor of Arts degree (Portuguese–French Translation) from PUC University (São Paulo, Brazil)
Personal background
I hold dual nationality (French Brazilian citizen) and was born in Rio de Janeiro.
In addition to France and Brazil, I have also lived in Switzerland and the United States, where I attended Lausanne University (UNIL) and CAL State Hayward University, and was awarded a scholarship to study at Martha Graham School of Contemporary Dance. Trilingual (French, Portuguese and English), I have been teaching for over thirty years. I also work as a sworn translator and interpreter at the Court of Appeal of Chambéry.
I currently run my own company, SERENDIPITY, specialised in translations, interpreting, cross-cultural communication, as well as methodology for academic and professional purposes.
Interested in history from an early age and an eternal globetrotter, I have recently become a French culture and heritage guide.
We have two addresses in France, one in the Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes region, in the department of Savoie, in Challes les Eaux, a commune with thermal waters of excellent quality, and another in the beautiful town of Saumane de Vaucluse, Provence-Alpes-Côte-d’Azur (PACA) region.
