My experience spans from corporate to personal event production, as well as hospitality to public service. With the depth and breadth to my nuanced skillsets, I have developed a sharp understanding of what it means to cater a message and experience to target audiences in ways that are thoughtful and effective. While I am bilingual (English and Japanese), my translation abilities surpass language -- it transcends race, gender, socioeconomic class, and the like. I look forward to speaking with you further on how I may be a positive asset to your team!
