After falling in love with racing on a circuit, she decided to pursue her passion of driving despite being 22 years old, which is considered “late in the game.”

Listen to her story of how she made her way into the racing industry in Japan, being mixed Japanese in Japan, and how to live, work, and adjust to Japan and the Japanese way.
