Bridging Language Barriers with Trust and Experience
A Professional Connecting Three Languages
Interpretation Beyond Words, Connecting Hearts
Interpretation is not simply replacing words from one language to another. It’s about sensing the emotions, passion, and the cultural values behind them, and delivering that essence in the moment. This creates the power to connect people’s hearts and build deep bonds of trust.
The same applies in business settings. Beyond numbers and contracts, there lies respect for others, trust, and the shared desire to create a future together. My mission is to carefully weave these precious feelings into words and convey them with certainty.
A single interpretation session should not end as just an exchange of words, but should remain in people’s hearts and lead to new connections and growth. Being present in those moments is my greatest joy.

About me
I have been working as a professional interpreter and translator for over 8 years. I handle interpretation and translation across a wide range of fields including medical, administrative, business, and technical intern trainee support, earning high trust from numerous companies and organizations.
My experience includes serving as a foreign language consultant at a municipal office in Tokyo, continuous medical interpretation services for multiple medical interpretation companies, and translation and interpretation work at correctional facilities. I have also received high praise from many clients for telephone interpretation services for rental car companies and insurance companies.
Born in the Philippines and having come to Japan 20 years ago, I deeply understand the feelings of those struggling with language barriers, having personally experienced the challenges of living in a different culture. I strive to provide not just interpretation, but heartfelt support that considers the other person’s perspective.
