Why Hockey?
🏒 As a child, I tried dancing and gymnastics, but I didn’t like them. In second grade, a coach came to our PE class, told us about the sport, and invited girls to join a team. I decided to give it a try, and that’s how I got hooked.

How Did You Choose Your Playing Position?
🏒 From the very beginning, I was placed as a forward in the team, and I’ve continued playing in that role ever since.

Any Other Hobbies Besides Hockey?
🏒 Besides hockey, I enjoy baking. I love making various desserts, cakes, and meringue roulades. My favorite is the "Milk Girl" cake.

Do You Have a Hockey Dream?
🏒 Of course, when I was playing professional hockey, my dream was to make it to the national team. But now, I play simply for enjoyment!
