こんにちは！

I am a native Japanese speaker. I was born and raised in the Kanto area of Japan. I attended a boarding high school in England as an English learner for 4 years and received an IB education. I then went back to Japan and attended Sophia University (じょうちだいがく　上智大学）in Tokyo, where I received a Bachelor's Degree in Foreign Studies.

I have teaching experience in Japan, at Clements HS (Clinical Teaching Practicum), and in Houston ISD. This is my 11th year at THS and 10th year at GBHS. I really enjoy teaching and learning with my students every day.

In my free time, I love watching soccer with my family. I am a big soccer fan and have been a soccer mom for many years for my 2 sons: 24-year-old and 27-year-old.

I also enjoy cooking (80% of my cooking is Japanese food, of course!).

I look forward to making this year a great year with all of you!
