My name is Rita Barroso and I am a student and
freelancer translator from Porto, Portugal. I am currently concluding my MA in Literary,
Cultural and Interart Studies. My main areas of interest are Translation
Studies, Horror Studies and Japanese Studies. I am also currently preparing my application
to the MA in Translation and Linguistic Services (Faculty of Arts and
Humanities of University of Porto). I am mainly interested in working in literary
translations from English to Portuguese, but I am opened to other translation
and editing works. I have completed my first major literary translation in 2023,
with the translation of “On the First Day of Christmas” (Hogan, 2022) to Portuguese,
titled “No Primeiro Dia de Natal”. I have a bachelor's degree in History and I have
been working as a teacher for three years.
