Hi there!
My name is Ami(she/they) and I study International Studies at SU. This is my first year with Learning Assistance Programs and I will be both Language Conversation Group Leader and tutor for the Japanese language.
I was born and raised in Sendai, Japan and I enjoy cooking Japanese food and listening to true crime podcasts (let me know if you have any recommendations!) I am passionate about the women's rights movement in East Asia and I am one of the researchers at the intersectional feminist community in Japan "AWAKE." 
I look forward to meeting you and having a great experience together, よろしくお願いします!

Hey everyone! My name is Sabrina a third year at Seattle University majoring in Sociology and Spanish. I am a native Spanish speaker as my parents are Peruvian. I was born and raised in California which means I will be out trying to find every moment of sun in Seattle!
