Services
I translate written documents from Japanese to English in a variety of fields. During translation I use CAT (Computer Assisted Translation) programs extensively for consistency with terminology and speed. The CAT programs I use the most are TRADOS SUITE 2021, Déjà Vu X3 and MemoQ.
I interpret in both directions between Japanese and English (consecutive and simultaneous). Most interpreting work is in the Los Angeles metro area, but I am willing to travel for work as well.
