I'm a freelance photography assistant and writer working in Tokyo. Originally from Ireland, I moved to Tokyo in 2018 and have been working an array of jobs since. A native speaker of English, fluent in Chinese and currently at a conversational level of Japanese, I'm looking to expand into more international workplaces. I currently hold a working visa which is valid until 2020.
