Bio:

I’ve spent the last ten years working with Japanese, first as an Assistant Language Teacher in Japan and more recently as a freelance translator and editor in America. I’m currently a student at the Inter-University Center for Japanese Language Studies, Yokohama. Once I gradate, I will be looking for full-time work, ideally in Japan and related to the humanities. Please feel free to connect with me either through email or on LinkedIn.


I graduated with a degree in Japanese Language and Literature from UMass Amherst. I also studied at International Christian University in Tokyo. My first published project was translating the manga “Romeo X Juliet” for Yen Press. I then became an Assistant Language Teacher on the JET program and worked in Sendai, Miyagi from 2011-2015. After I returned to America, I worked freelance as a translator and editor, specializing primarily in academia and media. My last big project was editing Dr. Akihiko Takahashi’s “Teaching Mathematics Through Problem-Solving: A Pedagogical Approach from Japan,” published by Routledge. I had also the opportunity this year to produce subtitles for a Kyoto University webinar, “Mind the Gender Gap—Can we take the leap forward?” Other translation and localization works also include projects from the tourism and marketing sectors.

Bio:

B.A. in Humanities with a Japanese minor, my interests cover a wide range of topics, but a Japanese presence has always been around. I mentored Japanese exchange students in college before studying in Tokyo for a years, then lived in Hokkaido for seven years after graduation. I work my hardest to ensure that every nuance is conveyed in the source text and prefer to collaborate with authors on work to ensure that the style they envision for their work is transmitted in the English text.
