Hello and welcome to my profile. I’m an intuitive copy editor, a meticulous proofreader, an excellent copywriter and a thorough researcher. I’ve served as the final pair of eyes on books from a host of genres, as well as articles, blogs, website content, etc. intended for both general and academic audiences. My success at that work can be measured by the feedback I have received from many if not most of my clients, one of whom paid me a wonderful compliment by observing that "she makes you look good." That is, of course, the end goal of every copy editor.
I am particularly careful to keep my clients informed throughout the course of each project, soliciting and incorporating their ideas and responding to their concerns to ensure their complete satisfaction with the finished product.
A great deal of my work has involved theses and dissertations, especially those written using APA (7th edition) format. Throughout my freelance career, I have completed scores of projects for graduate and doctoral students from all over the world. One important proviso: I do light editing and substantial proofreading of academic work, but I take the concept of academic integrity very seriously. If you're looking for heavy editing, rewriting, or original writing, I cannot help you.
I hope that we'll have an opportunity to work together.

I believe my role as an editor is to help writers express themselves in their own voice as clearly and eloquently as possible. This calls for honesty, sensitivity, excellent communication, a collaborative mindset, and an obsessive attention to detail, all traits I strive to embody every day.
As they say, variety is the spice of life, and for me this holds true in editing as well. That's why I edit most types of content (yes, including AI-generated or assisted, though I advise writers to please at least attempt to write your own content), and am always looking to forge long-term relationships.
I have years of experience editing:
- Adult, YA, and middle-grade fiction: fantasy, thriller, mystery/suspense, literary, historical. All lengths, from short stories to epic fantasies
- Non-fiction: memoir, historical, self-help/personal development, marketing collateral, white papers, consultant reports, etc.
*Please note that AI-generated content is more difficult to edit than human writing because of its deceptive nature and lack of depth/personality/nuance, which can result in longer timeframes for completion. We editors are trying to adapt to the 'AI slop' flooding the market, but trust me, we'd much rather be helping you polish your own writing and enhancing your authentic voice!
I'm passionate about what I do, and consider it a privilege to help writers of all skill levels bring their vision to life. Know that I will be as invested as you are in the quality of your final draft.
Reach out to me and let's get started! I look forward to working with you.

I help clients turn English content, AI-generated drafts, and rough Japanese copy into clear, natural, publication-ready Japanese.
I am a native Japanese translator and editor with a background in publishing, literature, education, healthcare-related content, and English-to-Japanese localization. My focus is not only on whether a translation is technically correct, but also on tone, flow, nuance, readability, consistency, and whether the final Japanese feels appropriate for its audience.
My strengths are especially relevant for:
- literary, narrative, and nonfiction translation
- educational and language-learning materials
- Japanese editing and translation refinement
- AI translation review and post-editing
- subtitles, scripts, and reader-facing content
- healthcare-related and professional content
- Japanese-language research and source-based summaries for English-speaking clients
I studied modern literature and French literature at the University of Tokyo. This literary background helps me evaluate style, voice, subtext, rhythm, and subtle differences in expression — especially for fiction, memoir, interviews, educational content, and other reader-facing materials.
I previously worked on NHK-affiliated English-learning materials for Japanese learners, including radio program textbooks, conversation phrases, workbook-style exercises, lesson structures, headings, and interview articles. In that role, I edited and adapted content created with native English instructors, coordinated with instructors and producers, and shaped educational content into clear, engaging materials for learners.
I also created and edited healthcare-related promotional content for physicians and pharmaceutical clients, including disease awareness content, doctor-facing video scripts, and marketing materials for healthcare professionals. This work required accuracy, careful wording, and the ability to communicate complex information clearly.
Recent freelance work includes English-to-Japanese creative translation for a science-fiction novel, literary nonfiction/memoir-style translation, and Japanese review of AI-assisted or draft translations for natural tone and readability.
I can help with:
- English-to-Japanese translation and localization
- Japanese proofreading, editing, and rewriting
- AI translation review and post-editing
- fiction, memoir, and narrative translation review
- subtitles and scripts
- educational and language-learning content
- articles, web/app copy, and reader-facing content
- healthcare-related content for professional audiences
- Japanese-language research, source gathering, and English summaries
I am comfortable working with Google Docs, Google Sheets, Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, spreadsheet-based translation review, style guides, terminology checks, and tone/consistency review.
Before freelancing, I worked at Accenture, which strengthened my professional communication, research, and structured thinking skills.
My goal is to make Japanese content not just correct, but clear, natural, and compelling — with the right tone for the reader, medium, and purpose.
