Linguist at Work

Translation, Consulting & Research

Nice to Meet You! はじめまして！

About me - 

I started studying Japanese some 20 years ago at the University of Queensland, with the simple aim of deciphering Kanji.  A straight math-science student at high school, I chose to study languages as a challenge to myself, to step out of my comfort zone -  a decision that changed my life completely!  Fast-forward 20 years, I have taught, translated, studied and raised a family in Japan.  Linguist at Work is the culmination of my experience, I teach, translate and research for clients on a daily basis.  If you have a linguistic, translation or Japan-related query, give me a call,  and I will do my best to help you.
