She has been studying classical ballet for more than 20 years and started learning voice, tap and jazz dance when she was 16 years old. After graduating from high school in Japan, she made her way to the United States to study Theatre. She attended Santa Monica College (CA) as a Theatre major, and went to AMDA (American Musical and Dramatic Academy, NY) to pursue her dream of being a professional actress.

Through her life, she has met a lot of great teachers and friends who trust her talent and work, and because of them she is living her dream today.

BWW Review: Nashville Rep's Outrageously Fun AVENUE Q Leaves Audiences Wanting More
by Jeffrey Ellis - Sep 9, 2018
Never before have audiences responded with such startling enthusiasm and thunderous applause to a Nashville Repertory Theatre opening night - at least in my memory and I've been reviewing shows at the Rep for 30 years now - than what I witnessed last night as Avenue Q kicked off the company's 2018-19 season in astonishingly irreverent style. Theater historians would have a hard time finding a production in which Nashville Rep audiences had a better time celebrating diversity and internet porn while watching two puppets have unbridled and unrestrained sex even if they lack some of the parts necessary to consummate the act.
