高校生の頃から、英会話スクールに通い始めたのをきっかけに、英語が好きになる。

海外留学を決意。米国に行きたかったのだが、家族に反対され、オーストラリアに単身留学。
2回オーストラリアに留学し、1回目はケアンズとブリスベン、2回目はシドニーに留学した。
ホームスティとシェアハウスの両方を経験。オーストラリアでは、アルバイトをしながら語学学校に通い、観光もした。シドニーでは、TESOL(英語を母国語としない人達に英語を教える資格)を取得。

日本に帰国後は、海外調達、翻訳、通訳業務などに携わり、今では約17年経つ。

With starting to learn English at English Conversation School as a first opportunity, I've liked English since I was a high school student.
After graduating the high school, I started to work at a DIY store, I've still continued to learn at English Conversation School. Then I feel like to speak English more, and I became to feel like that I' d like to go abroad. So I decided to study abroad. I thought that I'd like to go to U.S.A., however I went to Australia alone because at that time 9-11 happened, so my family didn't agree with that. I went to Australia twice, Cairns and Brisbane at the first time and Sydney at the second time. I've experienced both homestay and share house. I've learned English at language schools in Australia while working, and gone sightseeing too. I took TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) in Sydney.

After coming back to Japan, I've worked as a overseas procurement contact, a translator and a interpreter for about 17 years.
I've ever worked as a temporary worker and contract employee mainly at nuclear facilities and Manufacturing industries.
I've been working as a freelance translator since 2017.
