I am a Nisei writer based in the San Francisco Bay Area. In addition to contributing to Discover Nikkei, I am researching and pursuing projects based on my family history, including the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and its aftermath. Previously, I earned degrees in biochemistry/cell biology and journalism and worked as a writer and communicator in the biopharmaceutical industry. Outside of writing, I sew, knit, and strive to make osechi-ryori like my Obaachan used to make.
