Bio

I graduated summa cum laude with a degree in Asian Langauges and Literatures and a minor and certificate in Teaching English as a Second Language (TESL). Currently living in working in Japan, I am a director of the Yamaguchi Japan-America Society. I’m interested in translation and interpretation, as well as language learning. I balance my day job with personal creative work, like singing, writing, photography, embroidery, and ikebana.

The TED story

I’ve loved watching TED, particularly TED-Ed, since I was in elementary school, and now I want to use my language skills to share the TED ideas I love with a whole new audience.
