Welcome
Hello and thank you for stopping by!
It's always great to have visitors, particularly ones who have taken an interest in me. I can reassure you, your interest isn't misplaced.
Scroll through for a quick introduction to my background and the opportunities I'm looking for.
Born and raised in Thailand, studied in Australia, worked in Japan, and now living in Netherlands...
You read that right. I'm a Japanese woman, born and raised in Thailand where I attended an international school. Those formative years gave me a never-ending curiosity for different cultures, taught me four languages and the power of communication, and fostered my passion to hear and tell stories.
After 18 years in Thailand, I made the move to Australia where I completed my Bachelor's degree in Journalism. After five years down-under, I relocated to Japan and stepped into the world of IT. With my experience in writing, I was able to bring a creative, arguably human, touch to such a technical industry. I've now decided to bring the best out of two very different worlds, I've decided started my freelance journey here in the Netherlands.
With my writing and IT knowledge, I hope to leave a positive and lasting impression to as many as I can in this ever-evolving world, just as so many people and places have done for me.
