She graduated as a psychologist in Brazil, specializing in Psychoanalysis and Person-Centered Therapy, and lived in Madrid, Spain, where she graduated in Spanish Language and Literature, and took courses on Spanish Art and Culture at the Complutense University of Madrid.
She has been working as an interpreter in Brazil and abroad since 2003, covering a wide array of fields, such as Medicine, Pharmacy, Dentistry, Veterinary Medicine, Agriculture, Law, Finance, Arts, Social Movements, Psychoanalysis, Information Technology, Advertising and Marketing, to name a few.

She has also provided escort interpreting services to celebrities, such as Spanish chefs Ferran Adrià Acosta and the Twins Javier and Sergio Torres; actors such as Christiane Torloni, members of the Cast of Money Heist, Silent Cargo, Juacas; and singer Omara Portuondo. She has translated the Latin Grammy Award and interviews with celebrities on talk shows.
Carmen has been doing written translations since 1999, and some of the books she has translated have been published both in Brazil and abroad.
In recent years, due to the growing demand for remote and hybrid simultaneous interpretation, Carmen has invested heavily in acquiring expertise on the many existing platforms, such as Zoom, Webex, Teams, Meeting, and professional equipment to ensure high-quality, stable and reliable remote simultaneous interpretation.
