Hello! 你好! こんにちは! I'm Kiki.
I am currently the International Programs Coordinator at Stanford Law School. As the main administrator of the Advanced Degree Programs, Visiting Scholar Program, Global Field Studies, and Global Quarter Program, I manage and coordinate admissions, events, and travel with individuals, other departments, and external vendors. I graduated from the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey with a Masters in International Education Management and am a JET alumnus (Tokyo 2017-2020). My passion is in helping students access opportunities to discover and understand a world bigger than the one in which they grew up.
