Most of my working life has been spent in various media roles, working on music- and corporate-videos, TV and radio commercials, and even as a runner on a karaoke video. I worked for 18 years as a producer-researcher for Japan's public broadcaster, NHK, covering topics including politics, terrorism, music and sport, working in 18 different countries during this time.
I keep abreast of events in Japan by reading NHK's main stories every morning, and am a keen reader of Japanese- and English-language novels, as well as being interested in history and science.
I've entered Japan's Agency for Cultural Affairs' JLPP International Translation Competition twice, and been shortlisted on each occasion.
In my spare time, apart from reading, I cook, brew, and hike.
