ZIN WAI HTUN

I was born and raised in Myanmar, where I graduated from high school in 2019. After my graduation, I received a High School Exchange Program Scholarship to study in Japan. I spent the 2020-2021 academic year at a Japanese high school, where I learned about Japanese culture and language. After my exchange, I decided to continue my studies in Japan and am currently an undergraduate student at Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University.I am a hard-working and motivated student with a strong interest in international relations. I am fluent in English,Burmese and Japanese and I am also studying Spanish. I am a team player and I am eager to learn new things.
