Profile:

I am a highly professional and accurate native Japanese translator with a genuine passion and interest in language. I take pride in my work and in the service I provide to my clients, however large or small the assignments.

I have developed a reputation for delivering high-quality translation in a timely and efficient fashion. I put your needs as a client first by working closely with you to understand and meet all your requirements. This has resulted in repeat business and referrals from my clients.

I have exceptional written and oral communication skills in both English and Japanese. As a native Japanese speaker, I started learning English at the age of 6 and have studied at well-respected English translation training schools.

I am currently a trainee dentist, which provides me with a particular knowledge of medical and chemical language requirements. Additionally, in my spare time, I take an interest in the English language media including reading sports-, business-, and entertainment-related articles as well as following English language television.
