About Sara

Born in Ovar and raised in Oporto, Portugal, Sara Ruela graduated in Social Communication from Escola Superior de Educação de Coimbra, where she ventured into a school exchange to the wonderful city of Rio de Janeiro, in Brazil. It was at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro where she finished her degree.

As she was a language lover since her childhood, she decided to take a Post-graduation course in Translation at Universidade Nova de Lisboa. That was the time when she discovered what she wanted to do for the rest of her life.

After working as an Internal Translator and Project Manager for a couple translation agencies, Sara started her career as a Freelance Translator. She is currently working (i.e. happily translating) for several clients in IT and marketing fields.
