I am a freelance writer from Indiana and Ohio, with 15 years experience living and teaching in Japan. I write short stories, personal essays and memoirs, inspirational stories, academic articles, employee handbooks, and curriculum. I also do editing for people who translate (Japanese to English) marketing materials, court documents, speeches; and for people who write technical and academic articles.
Recently, I have become an entrepreneur, opening a recycling business with my husband. We recycle paper products and plastics. I find myself doing lots of educational promotions to help people better understand how they can reduce, reuse, and recycle; and how they can implement more recycling into their lives.
