About Me

Location: Downtown Juneau

I studied Japanese in university/college, with further education in Education TEFL, and Linguistics. I'm currently working in IT.
Before Alaska, I was assistant teaching English in Northern Japan for 2 years. Then worked IT for Toyota for a year after that.
I enjoy a beer with friends anytime, have a hobby in photography and being outdoors whenever weather is permitting. I also teach ballroom dancing.
