People always ask me if Japanese is a hard language to learn. I always say no. Every language involves memorization, but the important thing is not the WORDS, but the idea that the words convey and the cultural nuances behind the words. I gained this necessary in-depth cultural understanding living with host families and going to high school in Hida Takayama, studying at Doshisha University in Kyoto and working for Toyota Motor Corp. in Tokyo.

In my professional career, I bring over ten years of Japanese corporate experience, reporting and making presentations in Japanese as well as translating and interpreting for executives and business meetings.

Spanish also came naturally to me, having grown up in my native Southern California. And living and working in Argentina has enabled me to help build a bridge with yet another language and culture.

I specialize in:

• Business (Human Resources, management, contracts, advertising, marketing materials)
• Transit / transport
• Interviews
• Articles, essays, press releases
• Trade Show information
• Culture (dance, customs, cooking, etc.)
• Resident information
• Pets (horses, dogs)
