Koichi Fukushima

Summary

I am a fifth-year student studying a Bachelor of Arts in Public Communication and International Studies at the University of Technology Sydney. During my studies, I have found a strong interest in Digital Literacies subject which has allowed me to develop skills such as digital publishing and digital image production and compositing. During my exchange in Japan, I learnt to grow my cross-cultural communication skills, networking and improve my Japanese speaking skills. I also work part-time in a Sushi restaurant, where I have developed skills in time management, written and verbal communication along with organisation skills. I am currently looking for an graduate role/internship opportunity in the marketing, public relations and media communications field.
