Localization Supervisor/Producer

Since 2018 I have had opportunities to oversee small-scale localization teams, ensure consistency of terms and characterization within projects, and work with Japanese devs to design English logos, websites, and marketing materials.

Localization Consultant

Starting in 2016, I have acted as a consultant, interpreter, and negotiator for small-time Japanese devs looking to break into the Western market.

Freelance Translation

I landed my first professional game translation gig in January of 2015. Since then, I've worked with five major visual novel publishers, two browser MMO publishers, and three third-party translation agencies.

Video Game Quality Assurance Analyst

My first introduction to the game industry was through a part-time gig as a QA tester for a third-party game testing studio. From there, I made quality assurance my profession and worked full-time for various console and mobile game studios such as BANDAI NAMCO and GREE.
