I worked in a College Library as an assistant for roughly 9 years while I was slowly but surely finishing my undergraduate degree. I ended up living in Japan for a year and moving back on and off for a couple of years at a time but for now I am settled in the land of beaches and no snow&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As far as degrees go, I studied East Asian Studies and received a Minor degree in Japanese. I taught English for a bit and eventually moved back due to some family emergencies but I am trying to make the best of it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some fun facts about my traveling life:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have climbed Mt. Fuji and my clearest memory of it was the smell! (Plumbing on mountains is interesting&#8230;)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have lived in Kobe, Kanagawa and Tokyo and somehow managed to miss out on traveling to Hokkaido (I love snow and I am denied this luxury by Florida). I studied Cultural Informatics in Kobe University!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobe-u.ac.jp\/en\/index.html\">https:\/\/www.kobe-u.ac.jp\/en\/index.html<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have been getting into quite a few creative projects at work so I am definitely looking forward to learning some new tricks in this course. I am looking forward to bringing some of what I learn to my job. I can already see this is going to be a fun time since I use WordPress for the website at my job as well!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Myself somewhere on Fuji (ignore my star friends haha):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20245968_877517559066071_4854021250325702647_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-374\" srcset=\"https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20245968_877517559066071_4854021250325702647_n.jpg 960w, https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20245968_877517559066071_4854021250325702647_n-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20245968_877517559066071_4854021250325702647_n-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I look forward to working with you all!
