My background is naturally quite international. My father was born in Canada, mother in Japan, therefore I am native in English and fluent in Japanese. Also, I studied conversational Arabic growing up in the Middle East. My school hobbies included being a competitive student-athlete. I committed approximately 30 hours per week to training- practicing, watching technique videos, travelling to tournaments as a participant. I believe that I have good time management and focus, as my sports activities was well balanced with my full study course load, as I graduated successfully. I have also learned from sports and school course load balance, the achievable success of being a team player and leader through self-discipline and perseverance.Being on a team also reinforced communication, and my ability to solve problems with teammates and coaches diplomatically.In my short work history I have experience in sales and customer operations, and have led teams that pursued developing new markets.
