Bilingual communications and community professional bridging global and local perspectives.
JapanWhat I'm looking for
I am a bilingual communications and community professional based in Tokyo, with experience creating English content, coordinating events, and supporting cross-cultural teamwork. I combine hands-on marketing and community program experience with ongoing Japanese language study to better serve bilingual audiences.
My background includes managing communications and events for global organizations and startups, supporting localization efforts, and founding small service brands focused on customer trust and safety. I have led program coordination remotely and worked directly with translators and bilingual teams to adapt materials for Japan and APAC.
I am focused on contributing long-term to organizations like EO Japan by applying clear English communications, basic Japanese support, and practical operations skills. I value building connection-driven communities and helping regional impact through thoughtful, reliable execution.
