A little about myself: I was born in a small town in Germany and have always been interested in languages and art. I grew up watching anime, reading manga and later on listened to Japanese rock music. By the time I finished high school I decided to learn Japanese. I came to Japan for the first time in 2006 as a Rotary Ambassadorial Scholar and graduated from university with a Master`s Degree in Japanese studies focusing on art history. For the past few years I’ve worked at a cram school in snow country (Niigata) and I’m really happy to live in an area with less snow now. I love baking, cooking, doing tea ceremony and singing.
