About

I plan to go over Hiragana and Katakana in a fun and artistic way so that you can understand both the sound and the stroke order! I will also go over a little of basic kanji that are common in Japan. Come prepared to write in a new way, and as always, come prepared to learn (please bring paper and a pen or pencil so we can pratice together, and be ready to talk with everyone about the sound of the character)!

I live in Washington State (and I’m a senior in hs), which means I enjoy hiking, coffee, books, and the PNW vibes. Camping is a must, as is the nature prints I do in my free time. I love matcha and feminism, but I am NOT performative. I love learning and teaching Japanese Culture and also the Language, as it is a dream of mine to do Japanese in the future! As a final note, I love learning why things happen and how they came about, so honestly all of History is interesting to me (I may also like Calc, but am not a full STEM girly, mostly humanities).
