Hello Everyone!

My name is Sofia Ginard and I am the 2018-2019 Ted Wang Fellow for Tokyo, Japan! I am currently spending my semester abroad at the International Christian University (ICU) through Middlebury’s School in  Japan Exchange Program, which Wellesley has a partnership with. As classes don’t officially start until April in Japan, I spent the 2 months previous to the exchange program doing an internship in Tokyo at the Japanese Overseas Infrastructure Investment Fund, or JOIN, in the Marunouchi Area in central Tokyo.

I am a member of Wellesley’s Class of 2020 double majoring in Economics and Japanese Language and Culture. Outside of school, I enjoy playing Ultimate Frisbee, baking sweets and cakes, traveling, playing with my Nintendo Switch and watching anime and movies!
