Biography: I was born as a DC resident and I have lived in DC my whole life. I am a versatile person and can adjust to different social settings in order to have good relationships. I enjoy experiencing nature, including hiking, viewing incoming storms, or interacting with wild animals. Listening to music is one of my favorite hobbies because it has the potential to bring joy to you and motivate you throughout the day. My favorite genres are K-pop, old-school rap/classic hip-hop, and r&b. As an easy-going person, I help motivate people I know and love almost everyday and when not, I at least keep people in a happy mood.

Expectatations: In this program, I hope to learn as much information and history as possible of Japanese culture. I expect to experience the study of Japanese calligraphy, local nature, cultural traditions used in Japanese society, and the origination of common social aspects that are hidden in the US and other countries.
