About

I help international professionals understand and access career opportunities in Japan. I’m the writer of Foreign Professional, a free weekly newsletter that makes Japan’s job market more transparent. Each week, I share practical advice on resumes, interviews, job hunting, and navigating workplace culture. My goal is to help professionals abroad and in Japan position themselves for success and approach their career journey with confidence. Alongside my writing, I work as a Talent Acquisition Specialist at a global AI startup, hiring across both Japan and international markets. Before this, I recruited in supply chain, logistics, and technology, building experience across diverse industries and learning how to adapt quickly to new hiring needs. Having worked both in-house and in agency settings, I understand the challenges candidates face and what companies look for in top talent. Through this combination of hands-on recruitment and content creation, I’ve helped professionals from entry-level candidates to senior engineers better navigate their careers in Japan. I’m always open to connecting with professionals interested in Japan’s job market, AI, or global hiring trends. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to exchange insights.

An internship at nippon.com where I dealt with translating Japanese to English for their website.

The site is published in seven different languages and covers a range of topics from travel to politics and economics. My specific focus was translating travel articles highlighting beautiful and quaint areas throughout Japan.
