Speaker details


Bio:I’m Canadian and initially studied at the University of Saskatchewan (B.A. and J.D.). I have spent 18 years in Japan in Matsumoto, Nikko, Karuizawa, Sapporo, Kobe and Tokyo among other places, and have become fluent in the Japanese language, passing level 1 of the Japanese Language Proficiency Test. Since completing a Master’s degree in law (LL.M.) at Hokkaido University in 2000 I have worked in Tokyo as a legal translator, and have been fortunate enough to be exposed to numerous international legal transactions. Through this exposure I have gained an understanding of Japanese law, and in 2007 I was appointed head translator at the Tokyo office of an international law firm. Subsequently passing the Massachusetts State bar exam, I was admitted as an attorney at law in Massachusetts in 2010. I began teaching courses at Temple University in 2011. From September of 2013, I have been working in ediscovery as a project consultant and document reviewer.
