I am a seasoned translator and communications professional with strong work ethic and expertise in business, financial and economic news. I thrive in a deadline-driven environment, having played a central role in providing breaking news coverage for large news organizations. Through living and working in the U.S. and Japan, I developed deep understanding of both the U.S. and Asian culture as well as business practices. I believe that high-quality translation is crucial in bridging the gap between languages and countries. I work diligently to deliver the highest quality job, regardless of the size of the assignment. Other sample translations are available to serious outsourcers on request. Thank you for visiting!
