Who I am
I help global companies bridge communication gaps and expand their business in Japan through a mix of interpreting, translation, and business facilitation.
With years of experience working in consulting and finance, I understand how business decisions are made, how teams collaborate, and how communication drives results.
This allows me to go beyond words—acting as a trusted partner who understands both language and business context, supporting clients in meetings, negotiations, and internal operations.
My goal is simple: to make global collaboration smoother, smarter, and more human.
