Welcome to my CV page.
The CV below showcases my professional expertise in academic research and teaching. But first, I’ll give some background and a short record of my working history for context.

Some Background
My roots are in Asia—Hong Kong and Macau to be specific. My family on my father’s side is of Portuguese extraction with a long and distinguished history in Hong Kong (S. Braga 2015, 137–164 and 311–342).
I have worked many jobs in as many places. I got my first job when I was 14-years-old flipping burgers at Wendy’s. Until I was 19, I worked mainly minimum wage positions and played in punk/hardcore bands in British Columbia, Canada.
From 20–27, I did three things in tandem: I worked on my undergraduate degree, played music, and taught English as a second language. My degree kept me based in Victoria, BC, Canada (when I was not studying languages in Taiwan, China, and Russia). My bands took me to many places in Canada. My English teaching took me to Finland, Sweden, China, and Poland.
From 27 onward, I have returned to academia and developed my translation skills.
