Hello! 👋
I'm a Learning Experience Designer specializing in Adaptive Learning and Theory-Integrated AI.
My journey began with a foundation in quantitative sociology at Kwansei Gakuin University, where I developed a strong research background. This naturally evolved into a passion for education during my time as a Teaching Assistant Team Lead at N-S High School in Japan, where I saw firsthand the need for user-centered, adaptive learning designs.
Currently, I am pursuing my Master's in Educational Innovation, Technology, and Entrepreneurship (MEITE) at UNC-Chapel Hill, working as a Graduate Research Assistant. I focus on developing AI-supported systems like "Discuss Ready," integrating frameworks like ICAP and Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) to enhance metacognitive support and student interactions.
Whether it's conducting iterative UX research, applying learning analytics through process mining, or presenting findings at conferences like SITE 2026, I am driven by the goal of building research-informed, impactful educational technologies.
