Hello, and thank you for visiting my profile! ☺︎ I am a native Japanese speaker offering high-quality English–Japanese translation, proofreading, and localization. I combine strong language skills with an academic background in psychology and hands-on experience in education, allowing me to produce translations that are not only accurate but also natural, clear, and culturally appropriate—especially when precise phrasing and context matter. I have successfully collaborated with academic researchers and global institutions, delivering high-quality translations for moral, psychological, and behavioral research surveys with top-rated feedback (5 stars). In addition to translation: • I have over two years of experience teaching Japanese online through NativeCamp, working with learners of all ages and proficiency levels to explain complex ideas in a simple, engaging way. • I work part-time at a developmental support center for children with developmental disabilities. Together with my university studies in psychology and neuroscience, this gives me valuable insights into human behavior and nuanced communication. I am currently pursuing a degree in Human Sciences with a focus on psychology, aiming to bridge research and practice to support people's well-being. I can help with: • English ↔ Japanese Translation (Academic surveys, scenarios, psychology & education) • Mental Health & Well-being content localization • User Research, UX translation & interview transcriptions • Proofreading & Localization • Website and marketing translation I value clear communication, reliability, and attention to detail.
