In 2010 I completed a bachelor`s degree in History at the University of Iowa and moved to Japan to explore my interest in Japanese history and culture. I lived in Tokyo for eight years, where I taught English, earned a master`s degree in Japanese Studies, and worked as a Japanese-English translator. Outside of my language translation work, I continued to dabble in other fields and eventually became aware of the rapid progress being made in the fields of genomics and data science, which inspired me to reorient my career path. In 2018 I moved back to Iowa City to enroll in undergraduate biology and computer science courses in preparation for a career change, and in 2019 I was admitted into the Bioinformatics master`s program. I am on track to complete my master`s degree in May of 2020, after which I hope to work at an international IT, biotech, or pharmaceutical company where I can fully utilize both my linguistic and technical abilities. ©
