English teacher for the Fukui Board of Education through the JET Program. As an English educator and cultural ambassador in Japan, I strived to create innovative lesson plans for junior high school and elementary students to spark their interest in learning about the world through communication. Outside of the classroom I was actively involved in the community as a volunteer English teacher at local orphanages.
