After studied Social Welfare for my Bachler’s degree, I worked in Thailand to support people living with HIV/AIDS. Completing 2 Master degrees: Public Health and Economics, I have been involved in global health projects, which are supported by JICA (Japan International Cooperation Agency).
Message
Fortunately, I have had chances to be involved in some projects in countries in Asia and Africa, and I encountered a lot of “why?” there. To reach these inquiries, I joined to Department of Global Health, whose policies are “both practical and research perspectives” and “health and well-fare from wide perspectives”. After I learn and graduate from this school, I hope to contribute global health and well-being of people by utilizing my academic knowledge and experience.
