About Me
About Me
I'm originally from a town called Hitachi, Japan and have enjoyed teaching college-level Japanese mainly at CCSF and SFSU since 2003. I'm a part-time lecturer and a full-time mom of two children.
In my free time, I enjoy traveling and hiking with my family. My 13-year-old daughter and I especially love staying at "Ryokan" (traditional Japanese style inn), taking a bath at a hot spring, and eating delicious Japanese dishes!
