About Me

I am a member of the Social Branding team (Public Relations and Media Correspondence) of art collective teamLab - an international group of interdisciplinary artists and programmers who create immersive exhibitions around the world. In my current role, I am responsible for media outreach in both Japanese and English to secure coverage of teamLab in the form of video, journalistic articles, and social media postings. I arrange shoots and interviews for such coverage and ensure their quality and accuracy before publication. I am also responsible for the coordination of collateral for given exhibitions, including signage, posters, websites, etc.

At Harvard, my time was split between my academic pursuits in Statistics and East Asian Studies, my summer activities abroad in Japan, and my leadership role with the Harvard Radcliffe Gilbert & Sullivan Players (HRG&SP), a student-run theatre group on campus.

My studies focused on data analysis and visualization, the utilization of data to tell a comprehensive story and come up with solutions to given problems. I also spent time as an undergraduate researcher with Harvard's Institute of Quantitative Social Sciences (IQSS), writing vignettes and testing packages in R related to text parsing and analysis.

Outside of the classroom, I was a Board member of HRG&SP, responsible for the biannual production of theatrical operettas from the works of W.S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan. My role as a board member and frequent producer and light designer gave me a great deal of experience in leadership and coordination, as well as more technical theater-related skills.

My summers were spent in Japan, becoming proficient in the language and gaining international work experience, both in and outside of technical fields. These experiences afforded me a deeper understanding and love of Japanese culture and life in Japan, and allowed me to better understand relations between Japan and the US.
