Language instructor
Samantha has been studying Japanese for 20 years, eight years of that running the Chicago Speaks Japanese! meetup group and overseeing guest assistant interpreters at Anime Central. She is now a full-time Japanese teacher and tutor. Samantha has watched as people struggled and lost their enthusiasm and wonder for the language and is now on a mission to simplify the process of learning Japanese. When not going against the grain, Samantha continues to build websites--she was a web designer and developer for a decade--as her life has always revolved around art, computers and Japan.
