I translate patent applications, clinical trials reports and other information related to molecular biology, biotechnology, genetics, biochemistry, pharmacology and organic chemistry. I also can translate information related to classical and jazz music. I specialize in Japanese-to-English translation, but can also translate from Norwegian or Danish into Japanese or English.

I have worked for six years as a patent translator and linguistic analyst for Thomson-Reuters. I also have worked as an intern and as an environmental laboratory technician for the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation. As an intern, I wrote reports for the general public on chemically contaminated sites in Alaska. As a laboratory technician, I performed gas chromatographic analysis of soil and water for organic contaminants.

I have passed the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (Nihongo Nouryoku Shiken), Level 1 (the highest level), and have lived in Japan for about 15 years. I also understand Norwegian because I was an exchange student in Norway. I have a B.S. in biology and have taken courses in patent translation.
