ABOUT ME
Growing up always wanting to pursue a career that can give me more opportunities to understand human cognition, I dedicate myself to study Psychology, specifically in Cognitive Neuroscience, to fulfill my desire.
I have started my journey from a small college in a town close to Seattle,
Green River College, but my dream never gets small. After finishing my first two years of undergraduate study, I transferred to a four-year institution, the University of Illinois at Urbana - Champaign, to continue earning experiences and gaining more knowledge about the field. Finally, I completed one more step by graduating with a High Distinction in Psychology with a Cognitive Neuroscience concentration.
Now, I am currently settled at Kyushu University and continue towards pursuing higher education. In my graduate study journey, I study the mechanisms of memory via learning behaviors.
