【Profile】
My journey began with a major turning point at age 19, when a severe illness left me unable to walk for nearly a year. Navigating this crisis inside a university hospital sparked a deep desire to dedicate my life to helping others. Despite having non-traditional academic roots, I committed myself to rigorous study, eventually earning my Japanese nursing license and working in the High Care Unit (HCU) at a major university hospital.

While working on the frontlines of emergency care, I confronted systemic challenges regarding nursing autonomy in Japan. Driven by a desire to transform the profession, I moved to the United States alone. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) in Los Angeles and obtained my U.S. Registered Nurse (RN) license. It was there that I discovered "Lifestyle Medicine" and was struck by the public's proactive commitment to wellness—a revelation that fundamentally reshaped my view of healthcare.

Upon returning to Japan, I spent five years expanding preventive and regenerative medicine nationwide, designing operational systems and training personnel in functional medicine and nutritional therapy. Witnessing Japan's gap in health literacy and the barriers to private healthcare, I realized that true systemic change required business innovation.

This led me to earn an MBA from the GLOBIS University Graduate School of Management. Today, as the founder of RADIEN, I launched NERO—a medical media platform dedicated to beauty and health. My mission is to build a society where everyone has the tools and literacy to autonomously cultivate their own health and well-being.
