I've translated songs, poems, movies, television shows, comic books, short stories, computer games, video games, medical journal articles, academic papers, Webpages, instructional manuals, and technical documentation. I'm willing to give just about any type of translation a try.

I honestly enjoy the actual act of translation, which means I put my all into every project I receive.

Clients always appreciate my skill, devotion, and attention to detail. My work has even been called "a model for others to follow".

Accuracy is important to me, and every project receives thorough proofreading and retouching until I'm satisfied that it's of the very highest quality.

My degrees in Japanese and linguistics from the University of Michigan mean I have an excellent grasp of the Japanese language, as well as language in general.

I'm a voracious reader with an expansive vocabulary, and I visit Japan often to keep abreast of current cultural trends there.

In December 2001, I earned Level 1 certification in Japanese language proficiency. I'm a member of JAT, the Japan Association of Translators.
