I’m interested in remote opportunities in AI-powered work, social media management, digital marketing, travel planning, content creation, UGC, Japanese-English translation/localization, copywriting, and virtual assistance. I’m especially interested in roles that combine AI, travel, social media, and Japanese/English communication skills.

I deliver global customer service across aviation, hospitality, and remote operations.
What I'm looking for
I'm currently delivering premium in-flight service with Emirates, supporting international travelers while coordinating with multinational crews under time-sensitive conditions.
Across Emirates and STARLUX Airlines, I've handled passenger needs, safety procedures, boarding support, special requests, and service in Japanese and English.
At Oriental Hotel Tokyo Bay, I managed high-volume check-ins, check-outs, phone inquiries, guest complaints, and cross-department coordination. My experience at Starbucks in Vancouver further strengthened my English communication and ability to resolve customer concerns in a fast-paced setting.
I'm a bilingual Japanese-English professional with more than six years of international customer-facing experience across Japan, Canada, Taiwan, and the UAE. I bring cross-cultural communication, relationship building, organized self-management, and calm problem-solving to remote travel, customer support, and online operations roles.
