About me
Lauren has been a professional translator of Japanese documents since 1988. She spent the first 12 years as a full-time freelance translator, and the next 8 years part-time while she worked as a project manager in the software industry. She returned to full-time freelance translation work in March, 2008.

Lauren has extensive experience translating patents and patent litigation-related documents, scientific journal articles and technical specifications. Through translation agencies, major clients have included Motorola, Texas Instruments, General Motors, Smith Klein Beecham and numerous legal firms.

After living in Japan for 1.5 years, Lauren continued her study of Japanese at the Harvard Extension School. In 1988 she was the receipient of a grant from the National Science Foundation to participate in a full-time 8-week course taught at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology titled "Technical Japanese for Scientists and Engineers."
