As a linguist, I specialize in translating Japanese to English, especially audio and .srt files, as well as localization, helping my clients find the best way to express what they need to in English. I have been living in Japan for over 4 years and am well-connected to the local community, so I also blog (both professionally and privately) as well as offer travel advice and itinerary review. As an English Coach, I have over 10 years' experience, working with students from beginner to professional and have worked with clients to prepare for international conferences, speeches, dissertations, starting businesses overseas, negotiations, etc. In my spare time, I'm also a coffee co-roaster with my husband, a Japanese local, and we have run a cafe, worked in Tokyo for 1 year doing a pop-up coffee stand in a local bicycle shop, and sell our beans online. I manage the English copy for our social media for this as well. My Background & Qualifications * Living in Japan since 2020 (here for the long haul) * N3-N2 (upper-intermediate) level Japanese * Over 10 years experience as a language coach * Intuitive consulting, coaching, and teaching style * Experience in IT, Quality Assurance, Office Support and Customer Service * Specialize in language sciences (phonetics and syntax) * Comfortable with many kinds of software (Skype, PDF, Excel, Word, etc) * Organized and efficient * Type 80 WPM

I'm a hard-working go-getter who is currently trying to gain as much experience as possible, mainly because I want to take advantage of being in my young 20s. I always want to do everything in excellence, and is always willing to learn. - I know the typical basic digital tools such as google workspace, microsoft, zoom, slacks, etc - Have marketing experience, so knows my way around mailchimp and hubspot. - I'm your typical "tech-savy gen-z", except I care about getting the work done more than my feelings.
