Current Master's candidate at The Hiroshima University with a focus on post-conflict Peacebuilding. How can we as actors of the international community and indeed our own domestic communities work together for both sustainable and impactful change? Through local engagement in conjunction with governance and accountability, we can seek to instill such change. Thus far, I have received 3 grants and scholarships that have been utilized to advance cross-cultural understanding and international cooperation. The first grant was utilized to conduct research within the National Basketball Association to identify cross-cultural behavioral episodes by athletes. The second, to start Danketsu; a project that engages sports as a medium to connect institutions with the common goal of growing global citizens. With Danketsu and the cooperation of local actors in America and Japan, it has culminated in 3 years of experience connecting institutions and youths internationally. The most recent grant, awarded by the Rotary Club in Japan requires a command of both spoken and written Japanese (through interviews and research proposals). It is awarded to students who exemplify integrity and a propensity to advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace. It is my firm belief that although we all do not possess the tools to resolve both direct and indirect violence, we must utilize the tools that come naturally to try.
