I was born and grew up in Japan. I had all my education from Kindergarten to College in Tokyo. At the of 25, I moved to New York and received a Master of Science Degree from New York University.

I am currently working at the Montessori of New Paltz as a Teaching Assistant with Early Childhood Assistant Teacher Credential. I also had experiences teaching the Japanese language to English speakers online and in person by creating my own curriculum. In addition to my career with education, I have had experiences working for one of the major Japanese broadcasting companies as an On Air Radio Reporter from New York City to Japan to talk about the different aspects of American and Japanese lifestyles. Since Japanese is my primary language and is now widely spoken, and I speak English well to communicate with non-Japanese speakers, I would like to help open up amazing opportunities for the students who want to learn Japanese, which not only involve the language, but also its culture including traditional events, lifestyles, and healthy diet. read more
