I obtained my Bachelor's degree in Japanese from Brigham Young University and am now working on my Juris Doctor degree. I have always had a passion for learning. I remember late nights in high school preparing for my government exams and the time I spent with my college professors studying Japanese. For me, these are fond memories and embody the sense of hard work and passion required to learn new things. My study of Japanese began in high school and it continues today. It has never been easy, it shouldn't be, we learn more when things are tough, but it has been gratifying and rewarding. I desire to help those eager and aspiring students of Japanese to continually improve their abilities and deepen their knowledge. My love for the language and culture has engendered within me a desire to help others learn Japanese as well.
