About Me | CLEAR Communication Consulting

Proactively envisioned multimedia based expertise and cross-media growth strategies. Seamlessly visualize quality intellectual capital without superior collaboration and idea-sharing.


Aya Watanabe


I take great joy and pride in bringing my close to 25 years of professional background in simultaneous interpretation and translation, between the English and Japanese languages, to provide you with CLEAR communication.

More recently, I have expanded my repertoire by incorporating communication consultation and advanced English language training to further assist professionals from the English-speaking and Japanese-speaking worlds to communicate more fluidly.

My main clients are financial institutions and other corporations including those in the medical/pharmaceutical industries, the United Nations and other international organizations, and academic institutions.  (You can download my CV here)

With a solid academic foundation with degrees from the University of Tokyo and Columbia Graduate School, I offer the highest quality of communication services, bridging the English and Japanese languages and cultures.
