Personal Profile: An Environmental Science graduate with a First Class Honours from University of Nottingham despite being diagnosed with High Functioning Autism. I was an SEO/AEO content writer at Growth.pro until April 2026. Through my work under Growth.pro, I've learned valuable skills in writing and editing online articles for various companies, improving their SEO/AEO to ensure that they rank highly at the top of every search query. Before that, I was a research writer at Wiki Impact until my contract ended in December 2023. My job at Wiki Impact involved researching various topics, from environmental to social, specific to Malaysia, and then using the information to write highly engaging and impactful articles about the various stories and issues I researched, ensuring that I could get the whole story across while also making them palatable and easy to digest for the public. Through my experience with Wiki Impact, I gained key writing and editorial skills as well as knowledge of different web programs such as Google Docs and WordPress. I have also greatly expanded the scope of the topics I am willing and able to cover, including social issues, key industry players, and changemakers, in addition to my prior expertise in the environment and nature.

I help global companies localise websites, create Japanese content, and communicate effectively with the Japanese market. With experience supporting startups, SMEs, and international teams, I combine content writing, localisation, and cross-cultural communication to help businesses build trust with Japanese customers and partners. ① Are You Facing These Challenges? • You want to enter the Japanese market, but communication keeps breaking down. You need a reliable bridge. • AI helps, but you still want a native Japanese speaker to review and refine it. • You need someone who understands Japanese culture — but you are not ready to hire full-time. • You want to differentiate your company through storytelling and PR, not just translation. If this sounds familiar, I can support you. ② What I Deliver Core Service ✍️ Content Writing(Japanese and English) Blog articles SEO content Thought Leadership Articles Interview articles LinkedIn content 🌏 Website Localization English → Japanese B2B websites SaaS websites Startup websites Marketing materials 🤝 Japan Market Support Market research Distributor outreach Lead generation Cross-cultural communication Meeting coordination Additional Service 🗾 Japan Travel Planning Personalized Japan itineraries for international visitors. As someone in an international marriage who has traveled throughout Japan with a foreign spouse, I understand the challenges visitors face around: language barriers transportation systems local customs regional travel planning I create practical and culturally informed travel plans that help visitors experience Japan more comfortably and confidently. ③ Clients I Work Best With ✔ Companies that want long-term, smooth business relationships with Japan ✔ Businesses expanding globally and needing localisation support ✔ Startups and SME founders who are too busy to handle PR and content internally ④ Professional Background 👜 7+ years in business communication & client-facing roles 🌏5+ years of international environment experience 🏢3+years of startup company experience I have worked remotely for three years in foreign-affiliated companies, fully in English. At the same time, I understand Japanese business culture and expectations. This allows me to manage communication in a way that feels natural to both sides. ⑤ Selected Experience & Results 📊 HealthTech (Singapore company) Identified prospects, coordinated meetings, and contributed to securing a Japanese distributor partnership that has continued for over 2.5 years. 🌐 Startup Website Localisation (English → Japanese) Localised an English website while coordinating between a Singapore marketing team and Japanese regulatory partners. ✍️ Profile Writing for a Barista & Coffee Instructor Created a professional profile and refined social media positioning. After the revision, the client secured new corporate opportunities. I structure your ideas into narratives that Japanese readers can connect with emotionally. ⑥Client/Teammate Feedback “Misaki has an acute observation that allows her to capture the essence of a story… She always goes the extra mile to maintain high quality.” — Pang (Writing team, Malaysia) “She prepares well, thinks deeply, and always thinks win-win.” —Wan Xin (Community event team, Malaysia) “記事化とSNSプロフィール改善で問い合わせに繋がった” “自覚のない、得意なことに気づけた。” — Tomoko (Barista & Lecturer) “完成後の原稿を読んだ瞬間、電車の中で涙が出た。 客観的によくまとめて下さり、自分の宝物になった。” — Haru (Education Business Owner) ⑦Let’s Connect Many companies now use AI to draft content. However, AI cannot: • Understand unspoken cultural nuance • Capture personal values and emotional depth • Translate intention, not just words If you are looking for a native Japanese professional who can: ✓ Communicate smoothly in English ✓ Research the Japanese market ✓ Write compelling Japanese content ✓ Support your expansion without hiring full-time Please feel free to send an invitation. I look forward to speaking with you. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Industries HealthTech / Healthcare Education & Media Fintech B2B & Professional Services Native Japanese Business-level English Based in Malaysia Skills Content Writing Website Localization Japanese Localization SEO Writing Copywriting Blog Writing Market Research Business Communication English to Japanese Translation Japanese to English Translation Social Media Content Virtual Assistant Travel Planning - Digital tool experience: MS Office, Google Workspace, Hubspot, Zoho, WordPress, Canva, Slack, Notion, and social media platforms
