Hi there! I’m a Japanese to English translator specializing primarily in manga.
I’ve been fascinated by Japan and its culture since I was a kid, and have been translating Japanese professionally since 2018. I’m a fervent believer in translation’s ability to create connections around the world and to expand readers’ worldviews. I highly value faithfulness to whatever original text I’m working on, while also striving to create a similar experience for an English reader.
In addition to manga, my experience also includes translating prose fiction and press releases, editing a translation of a cat-themed self-help book, and checking other people’s translations for accuracy. While I’m most drawn to working with stories, I’m always curious about new opportunities, so if you’re interested in working with me please don’t hesitate to reach out!
