Currently based in Tokyo, Japan. Her father is British and her mother is Japanese. She holds a B.A. in Education with a specialization in English and earned Type 1 Teaching Certificates for Elementary School, Junior High School (English), and High School (English).
Her academic research in university focused on how Japanese high school students were transformed by participating in a 3 day HEART Global workshop. Through interviews with twelve students, she explored how arts-based workshops—featuring dance and singing—helped develop self-confidence, positive thinking, motivation, and stronger peer relationships. The study highlighted how self-expression and recognizing personal strengths play a key role in building self-esteem and personal growth.
She first joined a music outreach workshop at the age of 12. Although she loved dancing, she struggled with self-confidence. The experience changed her life. Through continued participation, she discovered her passion for helping young people build confidence and express themselves freely through the arts.
Since joining music outreach tours in 2018, she has been inspired daily by the people she meets around the world. Her mission is to spread hope, joy, and empowerment through the arts, reaching as many schools and communities as possible. She also aspires to bring arts-based workshops into the mainstream Japanese education curriculum and to help develop strong training programs for future cast members.
She believes the arts are not “just for fun” — they are powerful tools for growth, connection, and lifelong learning.
