If you value your business clients' needs, you know time is as important as money to them. Count on me for accurate, easy-to-read translations preserving 100% of the meaning/nuance, but striving for 30% fewer words to slow them down.

I have lived and worked in Japan for 11+ years, have translated and interpreted for 12, and have 7 years of professional experience as a real estate consultant working almost entirely in Japanese in very high-stakes situations. I can be trusted absolutely when there is a lot on the line, having been there myself.

I have a B.A. from Stanford and a M.A. + doctoral candidacy in Japanese Studies from Penn; I completed the Inter-University Center (IUC) for Japanese Language Studies' 10-month intensive Japanese program; was a 2 year research scholar at The University of Tokyo; and have passed the level I Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) exam.
