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. For the voice samples, please check my portfolio. Thank you for reading! I look forward to the opportunity to work with you.

For 25+ years I’ve helped organizations, CEOs, and authors to get their message across clearly, strategically, and to the audiences that matter most. My work spans Fortune 500 marketing and market research, government outreach, and mission-driven nonprofits, always with the same underlying approach: Research. Roadmaps. Customer-Centric Everything. Content & Bilingual Communication Being truly fluent in English and Spanish is a differentiator that opens doors — and I’ve spent a career walking through them. I don’t just translate; I transcreate, carrying tone, humor, idioms, and marketing intent across languages so the message lands with equal force in both. My content work spans award-winning conservation and energy efficiency campaigns, CPG, climate, and financial literacy copy, long-form publications, web, email, and speechwriting for diplomats, ministers, and CEOs, and scripts for executives and celebrities. I’ve edited for Charity Navigator, translated five published books, and hold FEMA certification as an interpreter and translator. Known to clients as “Word Girl” — because precision and warmth are not opposites in my work. Brand Strategy I build brands from the foundation up, grounded in research and real audience insight. Style guides aren’t just a deliverable — they’re a foundational tool that creates consistency across every touchpoint, making it faster and easier for every team member to show up to customers the same way, every time. From positioning platforms and comprehensive style guides to campaign orchestration and brand video, I serve as both strategist and steward — building the brand and making sure it holds. AI Adoption Consulting Most organizations know they need to explore AI — they just aren’t sure where to start. I offer structured assessments and clear roadmaps that match AI tools and processes to real business needs, then stay through implementation to make sure adoption actually sticks. My process includes a change management module, because technology without a plan for bringing your team along is just an expensive experiment. I don’t take on AI engagements without it. What connects all three: I work best with organizations that know where they are and where they want to go, but need a clear-eyed partner to help them get there. Whether the challenge is brand, content, or AI, the work is always about people — the audiences you’re trying to reach, the teams you’re bringing along, and the outcomes that actually matter.
