Are you a lawyer, an editor, a translator OR A COMMUNICATIONS PROFESSIONAL?

All of the above. I have worked as editor, copyeditor, proofreader, reporter and producer in some of Canada's main newsrooms. As an independent professional, I do editing, writing, translation and other communications services for businesses, law firms, NGOs, government agencies and other organizations in Canada, the U.S. and the Netherlands. I also teach journalism part-time at Fontys University of Applied Sciences.

Previously, as a lawyer, I worked at a traditional intellectual property boutique in Rio, as a legal intern and clerk at the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington, D.C., at the World Trade Organization in Geneva, as an independent IP consultant in Switzerland and in-house at a TV production company in Toronto.

I have a master's degree in journalism from Ryerson University in Toronto, a master of laws from the George Washington University in Washington, D.C. and a bachelor of laws from the State University of Rio de Janeiro. I've also attended the Hague Academy of International Law.
