Post-Disaster Reconstruction and Urban Development in Onagawacho
In March 2025, I embarked on a three-day experiential learning program that took place in Onagawacho, Miyagi Prefecture, Japan. This small town, unknown to many even within Japan, was devastated during the tsunami caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011, but has since become a shining example of sustainable urban development and disaster recovery. The program, run by traveling educational institution Satonova University, led us around Onagawacho to meet with community leaders and observe some of the town’s unique features.

Tokyo Girls Collection 2025: The Power of Entertainment
As a strong believer in the transformative power of entertainment, it was a true honor to take on an internship opportunity for Tokyo Girls Collection, one of the highest-profile fashion events worldwide that combines hyper-current style trends with live entertainment and performances by popular musical artists. Starting several months before the event, I was able to participate in strategic planning meetings alongside some of the most senior organizers. In my role as a youth consultant, I provided my perspective as a member of Gen Z to assist the planning team with youth advertising and outreach, giving insight into social media trends and other outlets that could be used to increase youth engagement.
