Brief Bio
I grew up in Kyoto and discovered rock climbing and the Scottish winters when I left home to study in the UK as a teenager. Since then my passion expanded to alpine climbing and ski mountaineering, spending a few years based between France, U.S. Canada and Japan. I learned to ski in Nagano through my sister. Once I decided to become a Mountain Guide, I built a few skis for myself from wood palates where I worked in Chamonix at a Japanese restuarant to afford it. Ski guiding in Hokkaido and expeditions on Denali were my first steps in guiding. In between I am a freelance translator/interpreter English - Japanese
Other passions include volunteering for local Adaptive Riding Centers and environmental groups where I can continue to apply my background in equestrian, as well as conservation and environment.
