About the speaker:
My first experience of Japan was on the JET Programme 1991-1994. I worked for the
local board of education in rural Nagano prefecture team teaching with Japanese junior high school teachers. At the same time, I raced MTB all over Japan winning many national titles. Following a career in IT and Operations Management in the fashion industry I found myself back in Japan in 2022 working for a UK brand in Harajuku, Tokyo.
