As an active member of the East Asian Research Society at the University of Leeds, I contributed to fostering a deeper understanding of East Asian cultures, languages, and histories within the academic community. The society provided a platform for interdisciplinary collaboration, where I participated in organizing cultural events, language workshops, and guest lectures featuring experts in the field. These activities enhanced my ability to engage with diverse perspectives and facilitated meaningful discussions on contemporary and historical issues in East Asia. In addition to event organization, I contributed to research initiatives and publications, showcasing insights on topics such as linguistic evolution, regional politics, and cultural adaptation. This role allowed me to develop skills in project coordination, content creation, and academic communication, further strengthening my expertise in East Asian studies and my ability to connect academic knowledge with practical applications.

During my time at the University of Leeds, I pursued a first-class degree in Chinese and Japanese, which provided a solid foundation in translation, interpretation, and cross-cultural communication. My academic journey was enriched by immersive study abroad experiences in Japan and China, where I developed advanced language skills and a nuanced understanding of cultural adaptation.

Similarly, my year at Beijing Normal University in China was transformative. I undertook rigorous coursework in Mandarin, focusing on both written and spoken language, while navigating the complexities of cultural adaptation in a fast-paced environment. This experience honed my ability to interpret and adapt linguistic nuances for diverse audiences.

At Nanzan University in Nagoya, Japan, I engaged in intensive Japanese language studies, mastering advanced grammar, kanji, and conversational fluency. Beyond academics, I immersed myself in Japanese culture, participating in local events and building meaningful connections that deepened my appreciation for cultural context in communication.
