Summary

Dedicated and enthusiastic university student pursuing a dual degree in Marketing and International Relations. My university studies are centered around understanding consumer behavior, strategic marketing insights, and foundational knowledge of International Relations, enabling me to effectively engage with diverse perspectives and global contexts. Having spent formative years in the U.S. and Japan, I developed a deep appreciation for multicultural environments and cultivated a passion for adapting to new and challenging business opportunities. My exposure to Japan's philosophy of 'omotenashi', emphasizing attentive and exceptional customer service, reflects the culture I was raised in and continues to shape how I approach teamwork, respect, and thoughtful communication. Fluent in English and Japanese, I excel in dynamic international settings and am comfortable engaging with diverse teams. I am eager to leverage my analytical mindset, collaborative spirit, and creative problem-solving skills gained from my academic and international experiences to contribute meaningfully in professional settings.
