About me

I am a native of Seattle, Washington and have spent roughly one-third of my life living and working in Japan. My extensive professional experience working in exclusively Japanese workplaces has allowed me to gain an insight into the nuances of both language and business in the world's second largest economy.

After graduating with honors in Asian Studies from Whitman College and a minor in Japanese Language, I worked with three different large city governments in Japan where I was responsible for translation of official city documents between Japanese and English, including brochures, internal documents, and external correspondence covering port and harbor, economics, cultural affairs, and government policy.

While with Japan’s second largest financial services group in Tokyo, I was heavily engaged in business development targeting non-Japanese corporates as well as translation. I worked together with corporate banking divisions and the bank’s industry analysts in Tokyo to localize marketing materials into both English and Japanese for various, successful high-level proposals which covered everything from banking and investment products to business matching opportunities. I also supported overseas offices by translating head office reports from Japanese to English and disseminating these and other translated materials to our overseas offices to support credit applications and enhance relationship manager understanding of Japanese as well as global industries.

I passed Level 1 (highest level) of the Japanese Language Proficiency Test in December 2003.

Over the years, I have also been an active freelancer, translating websites, newsletters, and manuals from Japanese to English, which has augmented my already extensive translation experience in the Japanese-English language pair.
