Graduated from the University of North Texas with a Bachelor of Arts in English, specializing in Creative Writing. This program developed my skills in fiction, poetry, and narrative storytelling, while building a strong foundation in literary analysis and critical thinking.
Completed a Minor in Japanese, gaining proficiency in the language and deep cultural understanding. This foundation was instrumental in my later work teaching English in Tokyo through the JET Programme and creating Japanese-language educational content.
Earned a Technical Writing Certificate, learning to create clear, user-focused documentation. This training has been invaluable in my communications roles, where I translate complex technical concepts into accessible content for diverse audiences.
Participated in a Study Abroad program in Japan, immersing myself in Japanese language and culture. This transformative experience solidified my passion for cross-cultural education and communication, and set the foundation for my future career teaching ESL in Tokyo.
