About
I have a rich multicultural background with a unique combination of linguistic and
professional skills, sharpened by 18 years in Japan, two years in the United States, and the last
two and a half years in Brazil. Fluency in English, Japanese, and Portuguese gives me great
insight into the cultures of these 3 countries and enables me to navigate seamlessly in
different settings. My academic path in International Business reflects my commitment to
excellence, with a high GPA of 3.9/4.0 achieved during my studies in the United States,
complemented by my completion of the degree in Brazil.
Professionally, I have developed a versatile skill set through varied experiences across
multiple industries. As a Buyer Assistant at Intelbras, based in Brazil, I have managed
international logistics, negotiated with suppliers across Asia, and coordinated the accuracy of
import documentation. My attention to detail and building strong relationships with suppliers
have contributed to cost reductions and free-of-charge samples. Earlier in my career, I tutored
students in business statistics and basic math at Southeast Missouri State University and
helped them overcome academic challenges. At the same time, I worked in the IT office as a
secretary answering phone and email inquiries by faculties for IT support or service.
In addition, I also worked as a translator at the Family Center in Japan and provided
multilingual translation and interpretation in an attempt to support immigrant families
adapting to life in Japan through translations and interpretations such as visa processing,
cultural adjustments, and others. My earlier experience as a machine operator at Hamamatsu
Photonics in Japan further highlights my adaptability, as I learned equipment operation and
quality control processes.
Currently living in Brazil, I have been continuing my professional and cultural experiences by
applying the knowledge obtained through this academic and professional path. Throughout
my career, I have demonstrated a commitment to excellence, cultural sensitivity, and
adaptability. These qualities, among others, including intercultural and interlinguistic
communication competencies, have been my strengths in dynamic and challenging
environments. I am eager to gain new skills and acquire new experiences.
