Yasha is a second year Master’s student studying in the University of Tokyo’s Information, Technology, and Society in Asia (ITASIA) Programme. She can often be found searching for good bread and coffee, making a mess in a pottery studio, or unceremoniously falling down from bouldering walls. In her term, she hopes to introduce as many people as possible to her favourite bakery in Tokyo, and (more importantly) support the SSAJ community behind the scenes!
