Cátia Cassiano is a NAATI Certified Translator from English to Portuguese. She was born in Portugal, and she lives in Australia.

She has been in this industry for almost 20 years. In 2009, she founded Updated Words Translations. She has been committed to providing the best translation services. She worked with an airline for 8 years, and she has been working with a company in the gaming industry for another 9. She also helps clients with applications for the Portuguese Consulate; her Certified Translation services are very popular with the community.

Since she started her career, she has always wanted to make a mark in the industry. When she started, there wasn't much information or guidance for translators starting their business. She knew then that that's what she would want to do when the time was right.

In 2023, it was the time. She founded this school, and she was admitted to the AUSIT Mentoring Program as a Mentor. She has been doing so for the last 3 years. She is passionate about her job and helping the new generation of translators succeed in this industry. She strongly believes in empowerment and mindset, and that is what she wants to pass on to her students and mentees.

Most recently, she also became the Delegate of the AUSIT Portuguese Language Division. She runs the Division and organises a language-specific professional development events for translators working in her language pair.
