I began working in the UH Manoa Asian Studies department during the summer of 2020 as a research assistant under Dr. Kristi Govella. Her research revolves around how foreign direct investments impact Japanese policy, and as part of this position, I presented some of our findings from the summer at the 2020 UHM Summer Research Symposium.
Of course, due to the COVID-19 circumstances, it was over Zoom...which doesn't make for great pictures!
