I'm a native Japanese speaker who's been a professional translator for more than 20 years after finishing a program at Babel University Professional School of Translation, and also provided voice-over recordings for corporate videos, exhibition audio guides, app audio, e-learning courses, explainer videos, commercials and YouTube channels.
I've provided translation, localization, transcreation and proofreading to the variety of companies and organizations for their projects including marketing contents, websites, video subtitles (SRT)/scripts, technical documents, advertisements, business reports & presentations, apps, video games, articles, brochures, training materials and governmental/legal documents. The industries that I have experience with are also various including marketing, entertainment, medical, IT, fashion, tourism, transportation, insurance, design, food and education.
My recordings are done in my home studio with a professional YETI Blue microphone and an isolation shield in a sound-treated area. I use Adobe Audition to record and edit out noises, clicks, and breaths, and deliver mp3 or wav files per your request.
Additionally, I have strong knowledge of Adobe Premiere Pro and have completed many post-production video editing and localization projects for clients. If you are working on bilingual video projects in Japanese and English, I’m well positioned to support you and your team.

Thank you for reading!
I look forward to the opportunity to work with you.

Cross-cultural communication requires more than literal translations or unedited AI output.
As a native German speaker, US-based English-to-German translator with a Dr. vet. med. degree and 13+ years of experience on Upwork, I help life science, healthcare, wellness, and consumer brands create German content that feels accurate, natural, and market-ready.
Whether you’re localizing digital UX/UI, marketing copy, surveys, or product content for the DACH market, my workflow combines expert human localization with carefully supervised AI-assisted drafting and CAT-tool support where appropriate — always refined for accuracy, tone, terminology consistency, and natural German flow.
Areas of expertise
• Life science & healthcare translation – Medical, veterinary, pet care, wellness, fitness, nutrition, dietary supplement, and skincare content.
• UX/UI & digital product localization – German localization for apps, SaaS, software, web platforms, and other user-facing content.
• Marketing & sales localization/transcreation – DACH-market adaptation for B2C and B2B ads, campaigns, landing pages, and emotionally nuanced copy.
• Survey & market research localization – German survey translation and localization inside and outside Qualtrics.
• German proofreading, editing & MTPE – AI-output review, editorial refinement of human translations, and polishing of original German copy.
Why clients work with me
I bring together native German language expertise, a Dr. vet. med. degree, 10 years of veterinary microbiology research experience, and a cross-cultural US/German perspective shaped by living in the American Midwest since 2011.
Since 2013, I’ve completed 411 projects and earned $500K+ on Upwork, with several long-term client relationships — including one that began in 2014.
My workflow is detail-oriented, quality-focused, and modern: I use SDL Trados Studio for terminology consistency and translation memory support, and I integrate carefully supervised ChatGPT-assisted workflows where appropriate. Every text goes through human review, proofreading, and refinement for accuracy, tone, cultural fit, and natural German flow.
If you’re looking for natural, market-ready German localization for healthcare, life science, UX/UI, or consumer-facing content, feel free to reach out with your project details or source text.
I’m always happy to discuss the best localization approach for your audience, goals, and workflow requirements.
