Bio

Hello.

I started my career as a freelance translator in 2006. I graduated from MA in Translation of Newcastle University, U.K. in 2009 and since then, I have had plenty of translation/proofing experiences for business-related materials such as legal, IT, finance, manufacturing, transportation & tourism, energy & mining, chemical, food & food supplement industries, medical & pharmaceutical, governmental agencies and their related websites/ reports/ securities reports/ IR tools/ press releases/ presentations/ brochures/ e-mails, including for tech giants, top IT-related manufacturers, crypto-related industries, international organizations, etc.

I also have two BAs in Economics and Management of the University of Tokyo.

I worked for more than a decade for a listed passenger transport company in Japan, and also worked for the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, Japan.

My specialties and expertise are:

business, economics, management, transport (including air & maritime services), accounting, law, politics, diplomacy & international affairs, IT, chemical, manufacturing, world history, geography, energy & mining (including nuclear power generation), and factual-based literature.

I'm looking forward to working with you in near future. :):)
