In my fifth and final year of the JET programme, I have joined the BCCJ to make new connections and prepare for my next career in business. I’m looking forward to meeting the BCCJ members, hearing about your experiences, and gleaning valuable insights. Being just a tad older, I’ve had a couple of careers already. Before coming to Japan, I worked in Criminal Justice and risk management. Please feel free to ask me about it, although I can’t disclose whether I put my barber behind bars.

I’m Megumi, currently in my Junior year at TUJ and majoring in Communication studies. I am thrilled to be a part of the BCCJ team and be able to learn more about creating business ties. I look forward to also applying the valuable knowledge I gain from this experience in the future!

I am Tatsuki, a fourth year International Relations student in my university. Having influenced hugely by British culture and studied in Edinburgh, Scotland for a year, I am keen to contribute to the closer ties between Japan and the UK – which are two of my favourite countries. I am also looking forward to utilising as well as deepening my knowledge of economic and cultural diplomacy, and my goal is to gain valuable insights into business practices between countries in real-world environment.

I’m an economics exchange student at Waseda University passionate about entrepreneurship, sustainability, and building bridges between cultures. よろしくお願いします! 

After graduating with a First (4.0GPA) in Economics and Politics from Durham University, I came to Japan on the JET Programme. Now in my third year, I am looking to launch a career in policy or business in Tokyo. It’s a privilege to be in charge of the BCCJ’s Weekly Roundup newsletter. I am keen to use this opportunity to learn more about Anglo-Japanese ties and support the BCCJ’s work in strengthening them.

I am currently a junior at Temple University Japan, majoring in International Affairs and Political Science. I am excited to be a part of BCCJ and to contribute to facilitating international trade. I hope that my internship will allow me to explore my professional potential and advocate for DEI as well as responsible business practices in the field of international trade.
