I am an experienced freelance translator and proofreader for the Japanese to English and Korean to English language pairs. I have translated and proofread from Japanese since 2012 and from Korean since 2017.
I am a fluent Japanese and Korean speaker. I learned Japanese as a student at the Universe Hawaii and University of the Ryukyus, as well as by teaching English to Japanese students in Hawaii. I have taught English in Korea for the past 10 years, and have built up my fluency through living and working using Korean.
