Personal Background
I spent my early years in Japan, then attended an international school in Mexico, and moved to the US for high school, college and graduate school.  I now live with my husband and a small dog in Tokyo. I have one child working in Tokyo and another working  in NYC. In my free time, I enjoy traveling, reading, and have recently taken up Japanese embroidery.
