What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply Japanese-English communication, research, editing, and project-support skills in a collaborative role focused on clear operations and continuous learning.

At Yorozu Automotive Tennessee, I bridged cultural gaps through Japanese-English translation and consecutive interpretation for virtual and in-person conversations.

I independently supported Japanese expats, translated documents, and brought clear written communication and project support to day-to-day operations.

My background includes visitor services at Discovery Center at Murfree Spring, teaching as an adjunct professor, and graduate research roles at MTSU and Rutherford County Archives. I hold a Master in Public History focused on Archives/Archival Administration, alongside degrees in Japanese and Global Studies.
