My name is Lis. I'm a travesti and was born in the countryside of Minas Gerais, Brazil, in 2002. With ever-shifting roots, I've called more than fifteen different cities \u201chome\u201d throughout my life, an experience that\u2019s taught me to embrace the flexibility of freelancing. <\/span><\/p>

I began working in publishing in 2022 as a layout designer, but quickly discovered my true passion lies in the written word. Since then, I\u2019ve completed numerous courses in the field and begun my Master\u2019s degree in Sociology and Anthropology. <\/span><\/p>

Today, I work with translation & version (PT-ES and PT-EN), developmental editing, copyediting, proofreading, and cultural consulting, as well as writing fiction, games, and academic texts for various companies.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
