    She has worked closely with software engineers and often served as an English-Japanese interpreter in both internal discussions and client meetings for five years. She'll share some of the cultural differences, communication challenges, and misunderstandings she has personally experienced while working in Japanese companies. Her hope is that these stories will help you better understand how Japanese workplaces operate and avoid some of the common pitfalls that can lead to unnecessary miscommunication. If you're planning to work in Japan, collaborate with Japanese colleagues, or simply make Japanese friends, she hopes you'll find something useful here.
