A Bit About Me

With over two decades of experience in education and language services, I have had the privilege of working with a diverse range of learners—including business executives, government officials, and diplomats. As a seasoned educator, translator, and interpreter, I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to support those who are passionate about learning Japanese.
My unique approach to teaching Japanese, developed through years of experience, has been well received by students for its effectiveness and for helping them acquire the language quickly. As a U.S. Department of State official with multiple assignments at the U.S. Embassy in Tokyo, I have extensive experience in diplomatic discussions and negotiations with senior Japanese government officials and corporate leaders. I can guide you in choosing the right words and communication strategies at the right moment—helping you navigate negotiations successfully.
I would be delighted to support you on your Japanese learning journey. I look forward to hearing from you.
