    I am a native German speaker who has been living in Japan for over 10 years. My expertise lies in the translation of video games and manga. For about seven years, I have worked as a JP-GER/EN-GER translator and proofreader for games at Bandai Namco in Tokyo. My studies and life in Japan have helped me build a solid understanding of the Japanese language and culture. As a freelancer, I have been also translating manga, tourism and marketing-related texts since 2018. Ever since I was a student, I have continuously improved my English skills by working with clients from around the world at international trade fairs and events. As a freelancer, I have been active on platforms like proz.com and conyac.cc since 2017.

I have vast experience in general administrative-related tasks including all-type document formatting, confidential and non-confidential data handling and processing, database management, data organization in all formats, and others.

These are some of the values that I have acquired throughout my career.

    Hi! I’m an Argentine-Japanese trilingual professional based in Japan, with experience working in multicultural environments — including international art festivals, architecture studios, and cultural institutions. I’ve supported teams and clients in Spanish, English, and Japanese, both as a translator/interpreter and as a project coordinator. In an architecture firm, I facilitated communication between Japanese and English-speaking team members, clients and collaborators, handled translation tasks, and designed creative English lessons for the team using architecture-specific vocabulary. At a major international photography festival in which I have participated freelance for 6 editions, I worked fluently in both Japanese and English, switching smoothly between languages to support team coordination and project success. With a background in interior design — focused mainly on exhibition spaces and the art world — I bring cultural sensitivity, visual awareness, and precision to every task. My creative career has kept me immersed in international environments and allowed me to collaborate with people from diverse backgrounds and disciplines. I also hold two years of university studies in Social Communication, which gave me strong grammar skills and a solid foundation in writing and structured language use. I’m detail-oriented, organized, and especially interested in projects related to wellness, art & design, hospitality, travel/tourism and being the link with Japanese Culture, but am open to any kinds of projects where I can be of help. Whether you need Language interpretation, translation, transcription, proofreading, or any support with communications .— I’d be happy to be your cultural bridge.

My experience range from individual travel, group tours, corporate incentive trips, sports events and meetings. Additionaly, I have MBA in hospitality and tourism managemet.
