First and foremost, what a dynamic group this is! Lucky me to be part of it! I was born in Tokyo. I feel very fortunate to have received my education in both Japan and the United States. I was an elementary school teacher for 29 years. I taught all subjects as an educator. I love to run, hike, and cook. I wake up every morning totally thankful for the life we have here in Tucson. And what an honor to be a naturalist at Sabino Canyon!
