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.
