Kanna Nakao

I was born and raised in Japan.

I grew up in the countryside of Japan, surrounded by nature, and played volleyball for nine years, from elementary school until I graduated from high school. In high school, I was in the top 7 in the prefecture and lived like an athlete. After graduating from high school, I was interested in countries other than Japan, so I enrolled in a vocational school where I could study languages

and business.

There I studied Chinese for one year and English for two years, and also business, focusing on trade, management and operations. During that time, I learned little by little about the world by studying abroad for short periods and traveling alone. In Japan, I also actively participated in volunteer work.

After graduation I joined a company that Japan airlines cargo.There was so irregular season because it was during COVID pandemic I had a great experience at there. None of my previous experience was useful there, so I joined the company as a new employee amid a whirlwind of anxiety and confusion. I learned how to be a member of society.

After working there for about three years, I wanted a place where I could better utilize my abilities, so I quit and learned a little about IT to improve my skills.

I am currently taking some time off to raise my children. I started my current activities because I wanted to return to society.
