Convictions and Inspirations
- I'm a people person. Whether it's in English or Japanese, I find the channels to establish meaningful connections with people and institutions.
- I am driven by the challenges of pushing myself and those around me to maximize potential and demonstrate sincere engagement.
- I thrive on collaboration, especially as a means of establishing benchmarks and reaching professional goals.
- I believe in utilizing purpose-driven data - for instance, to gain greater insight into key indicators of performance to help organizations prioritize, motivate, and retain their audience.
- I have a strong independent streak but I believe in learning new things every day, and I am always open to furthering my skill set and broadening my knowledge.
Company culture, values, and mission are extremely important to me.
- I expect to work hard in fulfilling my responsibilities during work hours and my colleagues should share a similar go-getter attitude.
- I strongly believe in work/life balance but also know that some work obligations may take place outside of the office and/or after hours.
- I understand hierarchy but I also equally respect those I work with, embrace their personalities, and want to be an advocate for their personal and professional pursuits.
- My colleagues should inspire me, push me, and be allies through thick and thin.
I was cast in a Hoka One One commercial, which was shot in late 2019 around Shibuya and released in February 2020 (see me at around 1:15).
Though I did not know it at the time, the theme was "Time to Challenge the Status Quo" - which is exactly what keeps me moving forward.
