Ichiko was born and raised in Fukuoka, Japan, where she eventually received a bachelor’s degree in law and teaching credentials at the junior and high school levels. Her passion had always been teaching, but she strayed away from it for 17 years and built her career as a public utility rate financial consultant. During that time, she went back to school at night to advance her career in finance while raising her two daughters as a single mom and keeping her full-time job. She obtained her MBA at Martin V. Smith School of Business & Economics at Channel Islands in 2015.

Her kids are now grown and out of the house. So she decided to return to her first passion of teaching with the hope of finishing her career someday as a teacher.

She travels to Japan twice or three times a year to see her family and best friends. She is on a mission to find the best ramen place in Japan to take her students one day soon.
