more about me
Japanese site

I translate from Japanese to English. My main area of expertise is entertainment media, including manga and video games, and my skills are applicable to a wide variety of fields.

With eight years of studying the Japanese language, including an M.A. in Japanese literature from Columbia University, and a year with the cosmetics firm Shiseido, I’m comfortable with anything from haiku to spreadsheets. I also have copywriting and native check experience, and I’m available to gather information in Japanese for your English-language project.

I have passed the JLPT Level 2 exam, and I received the Distinctive Merit Award in the Seventh Shizuoka International Translation Competition.

I can offer very competitive rates. Please e-mail me for a proposal.
