Having majored in English Literature at college in Kyoto, Japan, I knew one day I would live in an English-speaking city. I prepared for my adventure by studying for and passing the English language exam certified by the Japanese Public Authority, then worked for two years at an English language school is Osaka, Japan in order to refine my speaking skills. In 1995 I arrived in New York City and since then have worked as an administrator, fine art sales person and general manager of a New York City language institute. My interest in real estate was piqued during my time at the language school when I was often asked advice on housing from the international students and business people. Working at Maison International has allowed me to directly be of help to such clientele. I like introducing them to their new city – and most of all enjoy finding the perfect home for them in New York.

I speak English and Japanese.
