I am a professional Japanese translator, interpreter, subtitler, writer, and cultural/travel consultant, holding a Bachelor’s degree in English Languages. I spent nearly three years living and studying in the United States, including one year at OCC College in Michigan. During my stay, I also engaged in volunteer activities, supporting Japanese expatriate spouses with language and daily life matters, while introducing Japanese culture to local communities by dressing church staff in kimono and teaching sushi-making. In addition, I have experienced childbirth and child-rearing in both Japan and the United States, which has given me valuable cross-cultural insight. With over ten years of professional experience in education, I have successfully undertaken diverse projects, ranging from teaching English to children to planning and managing in-house management training programs. In a global management course, I contributed to creating and translating training materials, welcoming international employees to Japan, arranging domestic travel, providing lifestyle support, and coordinating leisure activities and dining experiences. If you’re interested in obtaining my services for any of my above-listed skills, please do not hesitate to get in contact. I promise quick, professional, detailed work, and I look forward to any future collaborations we may have.
