I am a senior in high school and a current Summer volunteer for the Japanese American National Museum. I am a fifth generation, Japanese and Chinese American.
I have a great interest in the history, culture and contemporary life of Japan, as well as opportunities to get to know the country. I am also a student of the Japanese language and I seek to improve my conversation.
