Hi, I’m Arisa
Profile
Born in Tokyo in late 80s.
Currently living in Vancouver, Canada.
In 2012, I graduated from the Faculty of Law with a Bachelor’s degree.
After starting my career, I pursued a technical path due to my interest in manufacturing and obtained a Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering in 2018.
In 2020, I made the bold decision to leave the beloved machine tool company where I had worked for nine years and moved to Canada for a working holiday!
I had studied abroad in Vancouver during my summer break in 2010, and I was sure that life here would be a thriving and beautiful experience for me!
Three years after arriving, I obtained permanent residency, and it’s now been 5 years living in Canada.
I’ll continue living outside of Japan for the foreseeable future.
In Vancouver, I have been working for four years as a mechanical engineer/Continuous Improvement Specialist in the manufacturing industry.
While working in a technical role, I discovered the joy of teaching, leadership, and coaching.
Currently, I’m attending a coaching school and deepening my studies with the goal of obtaining an international coaching certification!
In the future, I plan to start my own business and hope to help others through coaching by sharing my experiences and knowledge.
A Bit More About My Personal Life
I have one younger brother and grew up with my mom and dad, who run our family business in manufacturing.
All my family, including my relatives, work for the company, which has around a hundred employees – but not me (oopsie!)
I’m also an aunt who adores my two nephews (2 and 4 years old) from afar
I’m thoroughly enjoying my own time freely these days
I’m curious, action-oriented, and people often say I’m “positive” and “energized” person.
Every day, I strive to become the best version of myself, living with the motto “Never betray to myself” and exploring a fun life that’s uniquely mine!
