HAJET Secretary

jesse-juarez-photo NAME: Steph Palm

OTHER NICKNAMES:

AGE: 23

HOMETOWNS: Sheboygan, Wisconsin, USA

HOME AWAY FROM HOME: Muroran

SCHOOL: University of Wisconsin – Madison, majored in Linguistics and Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages.

FAMILY: Mom, Dad, Older Bro, and a slew of other extended folks I really miss.

HOBBIES: Things that document human existence – conversation, written word, arts and crafts, cooking and baking, pirates and ninjas, linguistics, and other mediums that illustrate thought and development.

WHY JET? Well, for one, I enjoy teaching English. For two, I enjoy learning. I wanted a challenge and what better way to have all this than by leaving home to cross the sea?…Especially when the destination is as bad-A as Japan.

WHY THE HAJET PC? I love what HAJET does and I like the idea of helping people connect … also, I’m not ashamed to admit that there’s an administrative beast inside of me that feeds off things like meetings, constitutions, newsletters, and email lists.
