Biography

I became interested in Japan because my grandma was Japanese and my mom spent many years living in Japan. At first it just started as a love for Japan and an exploration of my heritage, but the more I learned and traveled to Japan, I started to gain a whole new perspective of the world and a new appreciation for other languages and cultures.  When I graduate I hope to work in Japan through the JET Program as a CIR, and hopefully eventually go on to work for Disney, Gekidan Shiki, or another theatre company in Japan.
