I graduated from Central Michigan University with a bachelors in psychology and philosophy. My current research theme is related to audiovisual perception processes of second language speakers. Essentially, in my own research, targeting people who are native/fluent in English and speak Japanese as a second language, I aim to answer the following question: “Does reliance on lip reading increase comprehension in multilingualism?” In addition, my hobbies include many activities, such as drawing, studying languages, taekwondo, tea ceremony, café hopping, and music.
