With a BA in Linguistics and Japanese from the University at Buffalo, my journey has led me to Japan, where I serve as an Assistant Language Teacher at Interac. Here, I blend my academic background with a passion for cultural exchange, contributing to the educational growth of elementary and junior high students. As a member of The Phi Beta Kappa Society, I uphold the values of excellence and leadership, striving to be a bridge between cultures. My competencies in digital technology and communication are not only tools for instruction but also for fostering understanding and global connectivity.Additionally, I am a photographer based in the Hudson Valley and Western New York regions. I specialize in landscape, portrait, event, and film photography.If you would like to know more, please message me on LinkedIn.
