Rafael Bolognini

I am a bilingual translator, writer, and communication specialist with over four years of professional experience bridging English and Portuguese for clients in the education, business, political, and legal sectors. With a background in international relations and public administration, I bring a strong understanding of cultural nuance, precision in language, and professionalism to every project I take on.

My career has spanned a variety of roles that have refined my ability to communicate effectively across languages and contexts. I began my professional journey in the United States, working for organizations such as the Missouri State Capitol and Washington University School of Law, where I gained firsthand experience in administrative communication, document preparation, and client support. Since moving to Japan, I have continued to expand my international experience through teaching, translation, and business communication coaching for companies and professionals seeking to operate confidently in global settings.

In addition to translation and editing, I have extensive experience crafting clear, engaging content in English for both native and non-native audiences.

My work focuses on producing writing that is accurate, natural, and culturally appropriate—whether I am translating a formal legal document, refining corporate communications, or helping clients express their ideas persuasively in English.

I am highly organized, detail-oriented, and responsive to deadlines. My professional ethic is built on reliability, open communication, and a genuine interest in understanding clients’ goals and ensuring their message is conveyed with the highest quality. I am also proficient with Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and a variety of cloud-based tools that support efficient collaboration.

As someone who has lived, studied, and worked in Brazil, the United States, and Japan, I bring an adaptable, global mindset to my work. I take pride in building long-term professional relationships grounded in trust and mutual respect. My aim is always to deliver translations and written materials that read smoothly, reflect the client’s intent, and meet the highest linguistic standards.

If you are looking for a dependable English–Portuguese translator or communication professional with a deep understanding of multicultural contexts, I would be delighted to collaborate and help you achieve your goals with clarity and precision.
