Greetings, and thank you for coming to my profile. I have lived in Japan for six years as a language teacher, study abroad student, translator, and interpreter. I specialized in philosophy and Japanese at the University of Colorado and then later got my masters in philosophy and science studies at Central European University. I have translated a wide variety of source material, from legal and medical documents to social media campaigns to essays. I look forward to working on your project!
I am fluent in languages and translation is my passion. I hope to have the opportunity to develop as a professional.
