I have been fortunate enough to grow up in a multicultural environment in four different countries; England, USA, India and Japan. From a young age, I have been exposed to international cultures that have helped me shape my character and attain different types of skills. I'd like to continue building on my international perspective and knowledge with all the precious experience I have had.

On top of my 15 years of international experiences abroad, Sports has been a crucial part of my everyday life. Tennis, in particular, is a sport I have put the most effort into. Since the age of 3, going through hard trainings, I have obtained not only technique but also skills such as perseverance, concentration and the spirit of not giving up. Moreover, tennis has been the greatest tool for me to make new friends in different countries, even if regular communication may be difficult due to cultural and language barriers. Also, through my role as the captain of my high school tennis team, I have been able to improve my leadership and communication skills by managing and organizing the team. This has also lead me leading the group of varsity tennis team mates in my university, especially during COVID attack. The team practices were prohibited, but I have managed to create the environment where we could safely continue practicing in a small group by designing the individual practice routine for the group I was heading up. I believe all these experiences will help me in leading the projects and works at international organization. I am interested in international sales and marketing role or client facing role where I may be able to fully utilize my experiences.
