Joana Teixeira

I am a linguist with a passion for creative copy.
Feel free to explore my portfolio website.

I’m a thinker; actually, I am a supersonic thinker. I started writing as a way to organise my thoughts. I like to be surrounded by good people and people who inspire me. Strangers or not, I have the skill to search for the little details and in the end, I use those details to give a soul to my writing.

This love for writing naturally evolved into a fascination with language, leading me to become a dedicated linguist, translator, and editor with a special appreciation for creative copy—particularly short stories and flash fiction. I hold a BA in Creative Writing and an MA in Translation, combining creativity with linguistic precision. My latest project has been exploring my own languages through teaching.

Beyond writing and language, I also have over a decade of experience in Hospitality and Leisure, gaining diverse skills across multiple fields.
