Born with a red pen in my hand, proofreading and editing is my calling. As a lifelong bookworm, I know personally how small errors in literature can negatively affect the reader's experience, and consider it my honorable mission to rid the world of such avoidable mistakes. I'm into small details, following the rules, and staying behind the scenes. I don't dream big; my passion is helping others to achieve their big dreams. I'd love to work on the back-end with you, to help bring your visions to their full potential. My portfolio includes proofreading website content, formatting documents for consistency within the brand, transcribing and rewriting videos into blog articles, ghostwriting, and the like. I love to work with clients for whom English is a second language.

Hi! I am Kanae, Half Japanese Half Filipino currently living in Japan. I am a Licensed Physical Therapist in the Philippines and I am a Licensed Nursing Assistant in Japan. I was born here in Japan and studied up to grade school and migrated to Philippines to study high school and college. when I graduated College as a Physical Therapist I chose to stay in the Philippines to work as a PT but after 2 years of working I have decided to go back to Japan and to work. I started to work as a Nursing Assistant here in Japan to learned the basic medical words in Japanese. and to learn more I decided to quit as a Nursing Assistant. After I quitted Nursing Assistant, I decided to work as a document Japanese-English-Tagalog translator here in Japan. I have learned a lot of skills in translations thats why currently I am doing translation hustle if someone ask me to translate their documents. I am also working as a health care provider again focusing on aged care and documentations of our patients.
