About me
I am an experienced professional specializing in desktop research, digital marketing, and expert-level use of Excel and PowerPoint. Over the years, I have developed strong skills in financial model modification, data analysis, and Japanese-English translation. I am seeking a position that allows me to work remotely, preferably in a financial or consulting firm environment.
My background includes extensive experience in desktop publishing and technical support for MS Office applications, particularly Excel and PowerPoint. I have developed VBA applications to automate and improve workflows, enhancing productivity and accuracy in data presentation and reporting.
I have worked with various research tools such as Capital IQ, Factset, SPEEDA, and others to conduct market and competitor analysis. My role often involves organizing data, creating charts and graphics, and improving pitch book designs to support business decisions.
In addition to my technical skills, I have strong communication abilities and comprehensive English proficiency, which have enabled me to perform translation work and liaise effectively between Japanese and English-speaking stakeholders. I have also supported project management activities, including budget control, event organization, and document preparation.
My career has spanned multiple industries including finance, pharmaceuticals, automotive, and media, where I have contributed as a desktop publishing operator, office administrator, and project secretary. I am highly organized, detail-oriented, and capable of managing multiple tasks efficiently in a remote work setting.
I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science from Gakushuin University and have certifications in Illustrator, Photoshop, and Flash software. Additionally, I have achieved a TOEIC score of 825, demonstrating my English language proficiency.
I am eager to bring my diverse skill set and experience to a dynamic team where I can contribute to research, marketing, and translation projects while continuing to grow professionally.
