My Background:
I was born and raised in Northern Japan, where I attended traditional Japanese schools, until I came to the United States to attend college. In addition to two graduate degrees, I have a graduate certificate in Education from San Diego State University. I was raised in a bilingual environment, where my siblings and I were immersed in Japanese at school, and our English-teacher mother tutored us in English at home. Having come from such a background myself, Japanese bilingual education is one of my specialties.
I look forward to hearing from you!
