All the lessons learned and opportunities seized during my student years have been helpful in realizing my future plans and current job

I initially had no plan to pursue graduate studies, but I have always had this passion in work focused on helping minorities. When I heard about the MPH course through a fateful encounter with now an MPH professor, I thought perhaps this could be a way to move forward with the passion I have.
Completing the MPH gave me a broader understanding and perspective about local and international issues. As someone who grew up in mixed cultures, I focused on mental health problems among migrants in Japan for my Capstone Project and conducted a follow-up study after finishing the course. All the lessons learned and opportunities seized during my student years have been helpful in realizing my future plans and current job as a research resident. Other than receiving a high-quality education, having an international environment was very important for me to face the global work that I now get to be involved with.
