I struggled to decide exactly what to call myself. My career so far, as well as my interests, have always been varied and vast. Ultimately, I landed on “multimedia producer,” reflecting the scope of my work over the past five years.During that time, I’ve worked across a range of formats — including video, photography, social media, print, and live events — which has pushed me to take on diverse responsibilities.

In my roles, and in today’s media landscape more broadly, each position has required me to be more than just one thing. As a result, I’ve become something of a jack-of-all-trades, and, in particular, a quick learner within the media and storytelling space.
 

What I value most, however, is that through my experience, genuine love of working with people, and ability to move fluidly between American and Japanese cultural contexts — as well as between English and Japanese — I often become the first point of contact and the first face people encounter on projects, whether online, on set or in the field.

 

And I strive to make that experience as positive, productive, and welcoming as possible for everyone involved.
