I have been passionate about languages since middle school. I have studied Japanese since that time, and I continue to learn more every day. Not only do I love the language, but I appreciate the culture as well, and I lived in Tokyo for several years. I also speak Japanese in my household as the main language.
In the past, I have worked at several companies where I have had the opportunity to translate as part of my job. I am now accepting freelance translation jobs, and I would love to help you with your Japanese-English translation!
I take pride in my precise attention to grammar and formatting.
I have worked as a contractor for TransPerfect since 2017.

•Thesis Translation Tutorial (Georgetown University):
