Personal History

I worked at the medical emergency center at the Nihon University Itabashi Hospital as a nurse for 6 years.
I conducted school health activities as a JICA Volunteer in Burkina Faso from 2017 to 2019.
In April 2020, I entered the Department of Global Health at the University of the Ryukyu.
In March 2022, I graduated from the Department of Global Health as a master's degree.
In April 2022, I entered the Department of Global Health as a doctoral student. 

Message

I had an interest in global health during the school health activities in Burkina Faso as a JICA volunteer.
I thought that I would learn technically about the school health of low-middle-income countries, therefore, I entered the Department of Global Health, University of the Ryukyus.
I hope to get experience through practice in the field of low-middle-income countries.
