Summary

I have completed a bachelor degree in Veterinary Nursing and Technology in Japan and a master's degree in Social Work at Flinders University. I am motivated to study about the link between human and animal health as I strongly believe that positive human–animal relationships can elicit positive emotions and other positive welfare outcomes. I am seeking a new opportunity where I am able to make the most of my knowledge and experience. My future goals are to support people and animals to improve their lives.
