Alyssa Sakamoto

Hello! I am currently a student, and even through the summer, I'm working on my education by taking additional courses. Since in the distant future I'm looking to become a STEM major, I believe any opportunities that would help me grow would be greatly beneficial! I have previously worked as a babysitter, working mainly with younger children through the ages of 2-6. Through this, my skills of caretaking as well as communication grew. Additionally, I have done some volunteer work, one being a host for Japanese exchange students and a volunteer makeup artist. In my spare time, I often spend it hanging out with friends, going on runs, and painting.
