My strengths as an interpreter

After 20 years of working in the private sector and for the government, I have now been self-employed and independent for over 18 years. From 2009 to 2021, I was the only certified Japanese interpreter in the Netherlands. I therefore have the most experience when it comes to interpreting for courts and notaries.

About my interpreting experience

Certified as a Japanese<>Dutch translator in 1990 and certified as an interpreter in 2009. I am highly versatile. I am just as happy to assist clients in court or at the notary's office as I am to assist delegations coming to see the latest technology in Dutch tomato greenhouses, businesspeople coming to negotiate with a Dutch partner with a tour of the production lines, Japanese consultants who come to make a Dutch factory 'lean' or to conduct an audit, or a representative of the Japanese government who comes to study Dutch and European environmental legislation.

About me (place of birth, native language, other details)

Dutch is my native language, but after twelve years of living and working in Japan, my Japanese language skills are considered "near-native." I am very familiar with the differences between Japanese and Dutch culture. Experience has taught me that business conversations are often a mixture of Japanese, Dutch, and English. That's no problem for me either.

Credentials

Master's degree in Japanese Language and Culture, Leiden University; One-year program in Japanese Studies, Kyoto University, Japan; Japanese Language Proficiency Test Level 1 (highest level); Minor in Simultaneous Interpreting, ITV University of Applied Sciences Utrecht; Minor in Interpreting in Healthcare, ITV University of Applied Sciences Utrecht
