I have been heavily steeped in both Japanese language and culture for over 20 years. Graduating with honors, I have a BA in East Asian Studies and two minors in Japanese language and Philosophy. I studied Japanese in Kobe, Japan briefly as an exchange student. In addition, I lived and worked in Sendai, Japan after graduation for two years as an elementary and middle school teacher. 

Upon returning home to the U.S I have tutored both children and adults in Japanese, successfully ran a Japanese conversation club for several years, and worked in a Montessori environment with children ages 2-12. I have given several presentations to elementary and middle school students about both Japanese language and culture and currently teach Japanese for an online high school. Lastly, I have successfully taught my daughter Japanese. 

In addition, I recently graduated in 2021 from the University of Nottingham with an MA in Applied Linguistics, receiving the highest academic award of Distinction. As a graduate student, most of my research was concentrated in nonverbal communication, such as, body language, gesture and humor. Other areas of research were second language acquisition, culture shock, and psycholinguistics.
