Bio

Bilingual scientist and medical translator (JA ↔ EN) with 14 years of uninterrupted independent practice. Trained chemist with a Master's in Translational Medicine, bringing genuine scientific literacy, not just linguistic fluency, to every document. Translation is the core of the practice: understanding the science deeply enough to render it faithfully, precisely, and in the register that clinical, regulatory, and academic audiences demand.


Specialist in oncology and orthopedics clinical trial documentation, Japanese regulatory submissions, and the full clinical communications spectrum, from Protocol/ICF and CTD dossiers to pre-publication research manuscripts and chemical patents. Recognized for rapid, high precision turnaround including weekend availability, and trusted with classified government contractor material under formal background clearance.


Experienced in AI-assisted quality assurance — not as a shortcut for output, but as a discipline for catching what machines miss. The translator's role is to be the final, accountable human voice on every document; AI is a verification tool, not a replacement for scientific and linguistic judgment.
