United StatesWhat I'm looking for
At THK Manufacturing of America, I lead communication between Japanese engineers, U.S./EU software clients, and executive stakeholders to enable new product opportunities.
I've delivered more than 1,000 hours of simultaneous and consecutive interpretation for technical, financial, and executive meetings. I also designed training that improved translation accuracy by 20% and led a termbase revamp that improved accuracy and consistency by 45%.
Across THK's IoT, production, and strategy management teams, I've coordinated priorities, translated technical and business documentation, and supported Japanese employees adapting to U.S. operations.
Earlier, as a freelance translator on Upwork, I translated more than 100,000 characters of technical and legal content and localized game content in agile workflows. I bring Japanese-English fluency, PMP certification, engineering training, and a practical focus on scalable, user-focused growth.
