Embarking on a New Journey: My Story

 Greetings! I am Sachiyo, and I am delighted to begin my internship at Tenatch!

I am currently studying Computer Programming at Seneca College. Recently, I moved to Toronto from Mie, Japan, with my non-English speaking family, which includes my husband and our three children. Before relocating, I spent over 10 years working primarily in customer service at a local bank in Japan, where I enjoyed meeting customers and helping them resolve their issues. During my time there, I also had the opportunity to work on corporate accounts and support Corporate Relationship Managers. This experience sparked my interest in how financial support is provided to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Through this internship, I aim to learn how to support small businesses from an IT perspective.

I want to be an adventurer in life. I am fascinated by the significant roles IT plays in continuously transforming our world. Although I am new to the IT field and am learning these skills in college at this stage of my life, I firmly believe it’s never too late to start something new. I also aspire to run a small business someday.

As a mother of three, I have learned to balance family responsibilities, studies, and work. Despite the challenges, I make sure to take time for self-care, enjoying activities such as yoga, jogging, relaxing with my kids, and watching dramas and movies. I am also passionate about visiting other countries, which I have not had the opportunity to do yet. Perhaps, after acquiring skills that allow me to work from anywhere, I will have the chance.

I am excited to connect with new people here and to continue learning and growing. I am very open to new experiences and opportunities.

Thank you for taking the time to learn about me. Have a fantastic day!
