In addition to her work in the arts, she taught English to high school students at a cram school.

Through supporting students as they explored their academic interests and future career paths, she further developed a strong interest in youth development. These experiences deepened her commitment to creating opportunities that broaden perspectives and connect people across communities and generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
