I was bit of a weeaboo in high school and thus took Japanese to watch anime with no subtitles. While I still enjoy the medium, I've grown to appreciate other parts of Japanese culture just by being able to understand the language and get into niche interests I otherwise would have never come across. Along with my bachelor's in college, I graduated with a minor in international business concentrated in Japanese. My career goal is to work with an international company that conducts transactions with Japan.
