Hire me
I am currently looking for part-time ( ~20h/week) work oppotunities in communication or translation.
Ideal location: Japan/Europe/Remote
My interest is specifically turned towards fields of media, entertainement, art, technology and sustainability.
I speak fluently French (native), English and Japanese (JLPT N2)
I have an undergraduate degree in film studies (2018)
Work ethic
I want to help build a healthy and thriving world. I think my talent is in bridging different cultures and people, research and strategy, sharing relevent information that can improve everyone's individual well-being. I want to work as a team in a purpose oriented cooperative environnement rather than competitive and driven by productivity maximization.
Good living
I live with fibromyalgia and am also autistic, I have experienced muliple burnouts in my twenties, until I resolved to not sacrifice my health to a job. My belief is that a good job is a job that helps me thrive, not ruin my phyisical and mental health.
In 2024, having recovered some of my energy but well aware that regular employment is out of my reach without specific accomodations, I am starting several freelance activities.
Youtube
In january I started a youtube channel: it's here!
My goal is to create content mainly in English and Japanese to build a personal brand and a network. Mostly posting about personal thoughts, language learning, media commentary and lifestyle.
Documentary film
Currently making a documentary about my grandparents who managed an orphanage and experienced WW2 in their youth. I have other projects on hold about ASMR and the Korean Wave (hallyu).
You can read more about those projects here
Teaching japanese (coming soon)
As a learner of the language myself, I am familiar with the difficulties of learning japanese, I have used a lot of the ressources out there, done some trial and error and I believe I can help others have a better learning experience and reach their goals. Several offerings will be presented: practice, accountability and coaching.
Future
I want to create my own media company connecting influence and talent, thinking outside the norms of the old world, with the purpose of making sense of the 21th century and foster global cooperation. The media aims to bridge different cultures and languages and be global and cooperative with other content creators from their own part of the world.
Ideally I would start this project in 2025 as an interview channel where I invite artists, engineers, business people talk about their work. In a latter stage also would like this company to produce documentaries.
The long term goal is to grow a community and then establish sane online and offline spaces for dicussing and solving problems of the current era. This could take the form of social media, metaverse, network state, not yet existing web3 technologies, festivals, workshops & meetups.
