I worked in broadcast news in London for NHK, Japan's public broadcaster, for more than four years, during which time I worked closely with correspondents to cover everything from Brexit and the covid pandemic, to the invasion of Ukraine, the UK government's migration policies and the cost of living crisis. I have researched, planned and produced shoots not only in the UK, but various European countries, including Ireland, Denmark, Finland, Switzerland and Belgium, and have interviewed everyone from government ministers and CEOs of multinational corporations, to asylum seekers, climate activists and far-right nationalists. I have also produced news at global summits including G7, G20, World Economic Forum and COP26.
Since going freelance in 2023, I've worked on docs about global migration, asylum seekers and AI as well as politics, online misinformation and the upcoming UK general election for an upcoming episode of Channel 4's Dispatches. I've also worked on several branded content projects for major global corporations such as Google Cloud and AstraZeneca. In addition to politics and heavier social topics, I closely follow tennis, music and pop culture and have recently gotten into AI and the current most popular generative AI software and apps.
I have undertaken various prosumer camera training with NHK camera operators, through a Video Journalism course at UAL and have gained more shooting experience as a volunteer camera operator with charity WORLDWrite. I also have more than four years' casting experience and love working with all kinds of contributors.
Lastly, about my background, I majored in Japanese Studies at university, lived and worked in Tokyo for almost 9 years, and have worked professionally using Japanese for more than 12 years, including research, client-facing roles, translation and interpreting.
