International Studies Department 4th year
Graduated from Shizuoka Prefectural Iwata Minami High School
She started learning English from an early age and won first place in a speech contest in junior high school. She chose this department because she would be able to interact with Temple University students, her study abroad experience would be integrated into the curriculum, and she felt she could further develop her English skills.
Studied abroad at Showa Boston in the second year and Endicott College in the third year. At first, I didn't fit in at Endicott College and felt lonely. I want to overcome this situation somehow. With this in mind, I consulted with a local student who supports international students, and I started getting invited to club activities and outings, and little by little, I started making more friends. Overseas, you can open up a path by being open about yourself. Once I realized this, I began to consciously talk to them.
I will be working at an anime production company from April. Our goal is to spread our works and goods to the world. To achieve this, we will use English and French to learn about each country's culture and values while thinking about the best approach.
