Overseas Sales Representative/Translator

Summary
Driven by curiosity, I always look for challenges and opportunities to learn and improve myself in every aspect.
Since I have always liked foreign languages, I have always wanted to do work related to them in an international environment. This is also the reason why I came to Japan first to study, and then to work and put my skills to use in Japan.
In the company where I work now, I have experience in translating business-related documents and contracts, as well as interpreting during meetings.
As bar staff at the hotel, I was always the one dealing with foreign customers, as I was the only one who could speak both English and Japanese.
In a country struggling with demographic decline and an aging population such as Japan, I offer my language skills to bring this country to an ever-increasing level of globalization and social inclusion.
