はじめまして、Everyone! My name is Teya and I’m 22 from East Coast (NYC Metro Area). I love to learn and grow and languages are one of the outlets I’ve found to do so 
I’ve been in love with different languages for a while after a high school stint with Spanish but found myself completely head over heels with the Japanese language and culture since I was at least in my last year of elementary school. Over the years, I have also found great interest in Korean and how to cultivate that more once I graduate. Besides being a college student, I also am a barista at Starbucks and somewhat split my time between college, work, and languages. Hope to get a new understanding of other languages besides my targets in this conference and meet some new people along the way
