I am a Tokyo based writer, translator, artist and musician. I love Japanese music, jazz and experimental music.

​

I spent much of my childhood in Japan and then went to Barnard College, Columbia University in New York City. My work is deeply informed by Japanese culture-everything from kimono to music to photography to film to architecture.

​

I work as a freelance writer and translator in Tokyo, Japan. In addition, I am training as a koto musician (13 string Japanese traditional transverse harp).

​

I am always looking for new opportunities. Please contact me with any and all writing, translation, editing and interpretation projects, as well as musical opportunities.

 

サンフランシスコ生まれ、東京育ちです。コロンビア大学で東アジア言語文化と民族音楽学を専攻して、在学中に日本の音楽、芸術に関心を持ちました。卒業後は東京に戻り、箏の稽古に通うかたわら新聞・雑誌への寄稿を始めました。記事執筆あるいは翻訳・通訳などの仕事を通して、日本の音楽・文化への再アプローチを試みています。
