​

Role at FLATjp:

Legal, operational support

​

Hope for FLATjp: 

"In the U.S., access to medical facilities is not good, and I myself experienced that I did not know where to go even if I had a health concern. I think it would be wonderful if FLATjp could bring together Japanese people with similar concerns in a very "ふらっと(FLAT)" way and help them improve their health."

​

Interest: Space
