I have Internship experience as a research assistant at a venture capital firm, a program intern at a non-profit organization (NPO), and a kitchen assistant at a Japanese restaurant. These roles have allowed me to develop strong problem-solving skills, adaptability, and the ability to thrive in diverse environments. I am a native Japanese speaker with professional working proficiency in English and Chinese. I am currently seeking a challenging role in Canada on a Working Holiday visa for six months, where I can apply my skills and continue to grow professionally.
