Message

I graduated from the University of British Columbia (Vancouver, Canada) with a degree in psychology (B.Sc.). Over the past 10 years, I have built my career around brain science labs at RIKEN, not only assisting researchers but also encouraging discussions about the impact of their results and improving lab environments. Starting in October 2026, my current role here as a URA will be vision-oriented, driving interdisciplinary collaborations. We are committed to providing support that aligns with the perspective of all stakeholders. I am fluent in Japanese and English, and I look forward to reaching out to a great range of people in our community.
