Introduction: I have over 10 years of experience in translating and interpreting in Japanese and English. I have worked as a Japanese-English translator and interpreter for schools in Japan, the World Affairs Council in Seattle and for individual Japanese and American businessmen.
I have also been a Japanese language tutor at Seattle University's learning assistance program for over a year. Furthermore, I have taught a diverse age group of students in both Japan and the US. I am half Japanese, born in Honolulu, Hawaii and growing up in Hokkaido, Japan. I lived in Japan for about 15 years attending a Japanese school and an International school.
I am currently a senior at Seattle University majoring in international business with a focus on Chinese language and culture. I can also speak, read and write Mandarin Chinese at a working proficiency level.
