BA in East Asian Studies
- Concentration in Japanese
ISEPTS certificate for completing the intensive Japanese language program at Tokyo University of Foreign Studies
Studied Japanese for 5 years.
- 3 years at University in New York
- 1 year at Tokyo University of Foreign Studies (https://www.tufs.ac.jp/)
- 1 year on my own since graduation
Lots of experience abroad:
- 2 years in South Korea
- 1 year in Japan
- a few months in China doing paid research on Buddhism
Lots of experience playing (Japanese) games.
My level of Japanese is probably around JLPT2 though yet to fully test it out (I will be taking the exam this December though). I have been brushing up my Japanese a lot lately! That is one of my motivations for picking up a translation project.
During my time at UA in New York I also studied Chinese, though it's at a basic level. Also while studying in New York I worked part time in the International Student Services office. I had too many duties to bother listing, but basically ranged from office work to organizing events for foreign students to assisting foreign students adjust to life in the USA.
I am now living in Seoul, South Korea and I am an elementary school teacher (English). I am currently working on some professional writing (English language textbooks for Koreans). Living in Korea has pretty much forced me to pick up the Korean language as well.
I have worked at a private English academy in Incheon called "Avalon".

I have also worked at a public elementary school in Gyeonggi-do.
Feels like a resume and an application process haha 
thinking about what I missed 
Oh yea, and the creator's real life name and email would probably suffice for my portfolio! Need to keep all information together. I need to be able to present it to potential employers, they may ask about it!
