Bio
Born in Aichi, Japan in 1972. Grew up in the same town as I am, and went to a college in Iowa in 1990. I spent three months in my sophomore year, and a full junior year in Granada, Spain studying at University of Granada. I majored in Linguistics and Spanish at the end, and I came back to Japan.
I am a mother of four children, and now enjoy my life to contribute the society through my jobs and activities.
I'm passionate about
human evolution, self-development, education, environment and world peace!
Also I love cooking, dancing, and creating artworks.
The TED story
I knew TED for a long time since I was a college student in Iowa. And I enjoyed a lot when I foud a TV program in Japan called "Super Prrsentations." And then I was so thrilled to find TEDxAnjo, a city right next to where I live, and I took a contact right away to the organizer saying "I want to be a part of this!". It was 2016, and since then I am a curator, traslator and creator for TEDxAnjo.
