Hi! My name is Manami, originally from Japan and currently based in Toronto, Canada.

I have professional experience in the television, entertainment, and streaming industries, both in Japan and Canada, having worked as a Content Distribution Coordinator, Marketing Assistant, and Account Manager. Through these roles, I developed a strong understanding of the entertainment industry, especially focusing on content workflows, client communication, and data-driven decision-making.

I currently work as an Account Manager at a post-production company, where I manage client relationships and coordinate projects. Alongside this role, I am actively seeking freelance opportunities where I can contribute my Japanese to English, English to Japanese translation skills, and organizational skills.
