Hi everyone! My name is Anna!

I graduated from the elementary education program at Uvic last year, and I am currently working as a childcare provider, supervisor/trainer at the University of Victoria Student Union Building, and an eyelash technician in downtown Victoria!

I moved here after graduating high school in Tokyo, Japan, which is where my hometown is, and have been living in Victoria since! I really love it here, but to be honest, I am also ready to move on to a new city just for some changes. My first language is Japanese, but I was lucky enough to spend some time in Hong Kong and Singapore during my childhood, which is where I learned how to speak English.

I used to play basketball during middle school and high school, and I also played Intramural basketball at Uvic for couple years. After that, as much as I wanted to keep on playing, I realized it was time for me to start making some money so I started working for them. I am also a big hiker, so I go on multiple hikes and camping trips throughout the year. The most recent accomplishment is hiking up Mount Cascade in Banff, Alberta. It sure was not an easy hike, but oh the view was so worth it and S T U N N I N G !! 

Some other things I enjoy doing are playing spike ball, listening to music, playing guitar, going out for delicious food (yes I am a foodie), taking pictures (casually), hanging out with friends, and watching movies. Speaking of movies, I recently watched “Tenet” and I was mind blown once again by Christopher Nolan. I highly recommend watching it if you haven’t yet.

I can keep on talking about myself, but I am not planning on writing an essay here, so I will attach a link to some google slides that talk a bit more about myself and my beliefs in education.
I am very excited for this course, and I hope to get to know you all better throughout!
