Japanese-to-English media translator and teacher with a passion for connecting people through language. In particular, I love Japanese video games, animation, and film, and I specialize in making Japanese media accessible to audiences around the world through translation and culturally informed localization.I am Japanese Language Proficiency Test N1 certified (JLPT N1) and have over 8 years of experience working in Japan. Some of my strongest skills are in communication (including interpreting), planning, creative writing, making presentations, and working in teams--I am able to work seamlessly in work environments in both Japan and abroad. I am also a strong education professional with a Master of Education (M.Ed.) focused on science teaching from the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities. My areas of expertise in Education include biology, genetics, English as a second language (ESL), secondary education, lesson planning, creating inclusive environments for active learning, and more.
