About me

As a consecutive and simultaneous interpreter, my experience includes interpreting at depositions (patents, product liability, sexual harassment, and many others), courts, arbitrations, business meetings, conferences, PMDA audits, focus groups and presentations, training sessions and tours, and medical assignments.
As a translator, I translate from Japanese to English and vice versa, also providing editing and proofreading services. Over the years, I have translated various brochures and catalogs, annual reports, legal documents, deposition transcripts, IT manuals and procedures, medical equipment manuals, newsletters, HTML pages, movie, TV, video and videogame scripts, and a variety of other materials.

ATA-certified for translation from Japanese into English. Native ability in English and Japanese, having been raised and schooled evenly in Japan and the United States. Completed translation courses at Tokyo's Simul Academy, later teaching other classes there. Completed UCLA Extension's Court Interpretation course. Former editor/writer at The Japan Times, the largest English-language newspaper in Japan. Business, legal, software and other translations. Bachelor's degree in English Literature from Sophia University in Tokyo.
