BACKGROUND
I was born in Japan and raised in Belgium and Switzerland, granting me native-level proficiency in German and French. I studied in English until high school and later pursued higher education in Japan and France, including study abroad experiences in Korea, Argentina, and Hungary. Post-university, I joined a major trading company, working extensively in several countries, which enhanced my fluency in multiple languages. Having studied over 20 languages and teaching Japanese in Korea and Taiwan, I've refined my linguistic capabilities. These experiences have shaped my career as a translator, where I now primarily focus on eight languages but remain open to translating others as requested.
