I am a freelance literary translator from Portuguese.

S. Krausz, Julián Fuks, João Anzanello Carrascoza, and Lourenço Mutarelli.

My translations have appeared in the The Paris Review, the New Yorker, n+1, the New York Times, Astra, Granta, The White Review, Latin American Literature Today, Litro, One Grand Journal, Words Without Borders, The Washington Square Review, and Springhouse Journal.

My translation of “My Good Friend” by Juliana Leite, published in The Paris Review, was awarded a 2024 National Magazine Award for Fiction, and was selected by Amor Towles for an O. Henry Prize for Short Fiction.

My translation of Of Cattle and Men by Ana Paula Maia (Charco, 2023) was the winner of the Republic of Consciousness Prize and the inaugural Cercador Prize, selected by a committee of independent booksellers. It was shortlisted for the Oxford-Weidenfelf prize and was awarded an English PEN Translates grant.

My translation of a short story by Emilio Fraia was the first ever work of fiction by a Brazilian author to appear in the New Yorker, published in December 2019. Sevastopol (New Directions & Lolli, 2021) was was a finalist for the Jabuti Prize for Best Brazilian Book Published Abroad.

In 2015 I was awarded a PEN/Heim grant for my translation of Opisanie swiata by Veronica Stigger, which I worked on as the first translator-in-residence at the FLIP international literary festival in Paraty, Brazil. I have also been awarded fully-funded residencies at Art Omi, Cove Park and Banff International Literary Translation Centre.
