I’ve been a full-time freelance Japanese to English translator and reviewer since 2013. I love languages and travel. I lived in Tokyo for 14 years and am now based in Hamilton, Canada. I have excellent research and English writing skills and can assess the appropriate context and tone for your text. I’m accustomed to using many different CAT tools, I know how to format a document in Microsoft Word, and I can usually tell when there’s a typo or an OCR error in the source text. (Machine translation can’t do that!)  I am committed to quality, consistency, teamwork, and client satisfaction.
