Goals

As a half-Japan­ese woman who wants to cre­ate pos­i­tive change, I val­ue com­pas­sion, diver­si­ty and growth. Under­stand­ing and com­pas­sion with­in my work­place is cru­cial in build­ing mean­ing­ful and long-last­ing rela­tion­ships. The sec­ond core val­ue that I have sur­rounds diver­si­ty and inclu­sion. I want the work­place I am a part of to val­ue indi­vid­u­als and inter­sec­tion­al per­spec­tives, as I believe it helps to fos­ter a bet­ter work envi­ron­ment for all. As a Yon­sei (fourth-gen­er­a­tion) Japan­ese Cana­di­an woman, I under­stand aspects of being a mem­ber of a minor­i­ty group and an Asian indi­vid­ual in a West­ern­ized soci­ety. I want my future work­place to embrace these same val­ues. Final­ly, I want my occu­pa­tion to allow me to have both per­son­al and pro­fes­sion­al growth, so I can learn new things and broad­en my view of our social world.
