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.
I am fluent in languages and translation is my passion. I hope to have the opportunity to develop as a professional.
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.
I am an English-native, Japanese to English translator, specializing in legal, marketing, and academic translations with over five years of translation experience. Prior to freelancing, my work history includes working as an in-house proofreader at a translation company and in-house interpreter at a manufacturing plant. My academic background is in Linguistics, Global Studies, and Translation and my highest degree is a Masters of Art. I have experience translating contracts, legal commentaries, market research, marketing presentations, advertisements, websites, product descriptions, press releases, financial reports, economic papers, surveys, interviews, and business emails, and transcribing or subtitling tv shows, horror movies, anime, news, and interviews.
