What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to promote social justice and education, fostering inclusive environments and empowering diverse communities.

I am a dedicated educator and researcher currently pursuing a BA in International Liberal Arts at Soka University, Japan, with a focus on leadership and social justice. My academic journey has been marked by a strong GPA of 3.76 and several prestigious awards, including the Contribution Award and the Soka Makiguchi Scholarship for International Students. My thesis explores the role of value-creating education in fostering authentic leaders, reflecting my commitment to social justice and educational equity.

In addition to my academic achievements, I have gained valuable experience as a Daycare Teacher at Kodomo No Mori, where I supervise and engage elementary school children in enriching activities. My role as a Student and Research Assistant has further honed my skills in facilitating discussions and supporting research initiatives. I have also contributed to various publications and presentations, showcasing my ability to communicate complex ideas effectively. I am passionate about creating inclusive educational environments and empowering students to become socially conscious leaders.
