Growing up wanting to pursue a career that can give me more opportunities to understand human cognition, I dedicate myself to studying Psychology, specifically Cognitive Neuroscience. I started my journey at a small college in a town close to Seattle, Green River College, but my dream never got small. After completing my first two years of undergraduate study, I transferred to a four-year institution, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, to continue earning experience and gaining more knowledge about the field. Finally, I completed one more step by graduating with a High Distinction in Psychology with a Cognitive Neuroscience concentration. I am currently settled at Kyushu University and continue pursuing higher education. In my graduate study journey, I am investigating human brain functions, specializing in olfactory functions.
