About Me

Profile

I was born and raised in the city of Lima, Peru, before moving to Japan. After completing schooling in Japan, I worked on my first translation job with an architecture firm. From there, I became passionate about languages and different cultures, and decided to pursue further studies in regards to language and
translation.
