Extensively studied English literature and honed my writing skills in the English language, while simultaneously learning more about Japanese and Chinese literary history and culture. My senior thesis was on the works of Miyazawa Kenji, and included a full translation of his short story セロ弾きのゴーシュ, combining my two majors into one representative work.
