This is her third year on staff, and she can’t wait to share about local eateries that peak her interest; alongside her passion for food and books, she also loves to dance, and she can’t wait to make more memories during her fourth year on Dance Production. She loves to listen to sad music while driving in the rain, and she enjoys her free time by watching shows like Your Lie in April, Violet Evergarden, Jujutsu Kaisen, and Tokyo Revengers.
