I am an artist exploring many forms of expression, including painting, design, and basketball, and I am pursuing English teaching to foster communicative, student-centered learning in Japanese classrooms. I bring creativity, curiosity, and a collaborative spirit to every project, and I am excited to help students express themselves and develop confidence through art and language. Beyond the classroom, I enjoy mentoring young artists, organizing community art initiatives, and blending visual storytelling with education to inspire lifelong learning.
