Hello everyone! I’m so excited to be here. This is my second time living in Hirakata. Seven years ago I was an exchange student at Kansai Gaidai, so it’s great to be back. I’m having so much fun learning with the students and teachers at Isoshima Elementary School.

Over the past four years, I was living in the city of Suzuka in Mie Prefecture, which is famous for tea fields and F1 races. However, I am originally from West Virginia in the United States of America. West Virginia is a beautiful place with friendly people. I hope we can travel freely again soon so that you can visit my home.

Let’s continue to do our best until that day comes. I look forward to meeting all of you.
