I have been studying/using Japanese for almost 18 years, almost 8 of which I have lived in Japan. I have over 10 years of experience, both in San Diego and Japan, in Japanese-English and English-Japanese translation in a wide variety of fields. In addition, my work experience in Japan included working at a major English school, a translation company, and at City Hall (Hiroshima). I am also capable of translations involving Spanish (Japanese-Spanish, Spanish-Japanese, etc.), and in the future I will be able to handle translation work involving Mandarin Chinese and Korean as well. When carrying out translation work, I am very particular about accuracy, natural use of expressions, etc., and am dedicated to meeting the needs of the client in terms of overall quality and promptness of completion.
