Yukari Meldrum

Yukari Meldrum is a certified translator for Japanese to English and an associate translator for English to Japanese. She has always been fascinated with how language works as can be seen in her collection of degrees: a B.A. in Teaching English to the Speakers of Other Languages, an M.S. in English as a Second Language and Foreign Language Teaching, and an M.Sc. in Linguistics. She hopes to finish her Ph.D. (soon!) in Translation Studies at the University of Alberta, and her research is on the unique language used in Japanese translation. Yukari has been working as a professional translator and a language instructor for English and Japanese; as well, she teaches Japanese-English translation courses. Besides translating various commercial texts, when she can find time, she also enjoys translating literary works such as novels, short stories, and poetry. (She is also a "closeted" writer: she might come out of the closet sometime soon.)
