I am fluent in languages and translation is my passion. I hope to have the opportunity to develop as a professional.
Hello!
My name is Samantha and I have lived in Japan for 3 years and have worked as an interpreter and translator for 4 years.
I have JLPT N1 certification and a TOEFL iBt score of 112. I am trained in medical, business, conference, legal, and governmental consecutive/simultaneous interpreting and translating.
Native of Silicon Valley, California. Resident of Ehime, Japan since 2009. Freelance translation and interpretation since 2014.
I am a lifelong linguist (originally graduating in Russian from Oxford before working in Japan for 12 years and mastering that language) who has been working as a translator since 2014, though my first paid translation work was in 1994 in Moscow.
I aim to work hard to establish a good reputation with agencies and private clients. I am prepared to be flexible about rates where regular work or large projects are concerned.
I look forward to working on translation projects through 2drops.
