I am a freelance journalist based in New York City. I’ve written a lot about Japan and pursue stories that look at cultural shifts in sports, technology, gender, business and language. I'm also a contributing reporter for the New York Times and write personal essays as well. I grew up in NYC, have lived in Japan and Argentina, and speak Japanese and Spanish. I welcome story tips and comments on my pieces.
