Graduated from Hiroshima University in 1998 with a degree in Dentistry. I worked in a hospital dental department for the first three years of my career and then spent thirteen years working in general practice in Japan. I moved to New Zealand in 2011.
I then took a break from dentistry to look after my three children and study towards my New Zealand certification. I started working as a dentist in Wellington in 2018.
I enjoy denture treatment and preventive dentistry, and believe the best treatment is to help patients maintain good oral hygiene.
In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading books, walking, and practicing Kyudo (Japanese archery).
