Meet the Summer Interns
Get to know Momoko and Rika, the new and wonderful summer FIUTS office interns!
Every quarter, FIUTS is lucky enough to have student interns who help us with all kinds of tasks in our office while having an opportunity to meet people, gain work experience, and learn about international education.
Meet our two amazing interns who are joining us this summer!
Name: Momoko Iwata
Hometown: Tokyo, Japan
Year: Junior
Major: French and Sociology
I am an international student at Bellevue College, and just started working for FIUTS as an intern. I usually work at the front desk and also lead FIUTS Fridays with other facilitators!
I love traveling, learning about new cultures, and making friends all over the world! My passion for cultural exchange has persuaded me to work in the international education industry. I am very grateful for this amazing opportunity and excited to work with wonderful staff as a part of FIUTS.
In my free time here, I enjoy hiking with my host family and trying a new café with my friends. I love Seattle and now it is my second hometown!
Name: Rika Murakami
Hometown: Kobe, Japan
Year: Junior
Major: Business and English Literature
I am an exchange student at Bellevue College from Japan. I've been in Seattle 10 months so far. I am doing internship in this summer quarter as a part of my business program. I mainly take part FIUTS Friday which we enjoy and explore Seattle area every Friday with UW students and FIUTS friends.
I attended some activities with FIUTS last year, and I have been pretty interested in this organization for a long time, because FIUTS engages in providing unique experiences to students and community members effectively at UW, where there are mixed various cultural backgrounds. This is an ideal internship for me!
I am happy to work as a member of FIUTS staff. Also, I appreciate FIUTS staff for giving me such a great opportunity!
Thanks to our awesome interns for supporting FIUTS with all your hard work!
