Meet Yuko Kawakami, who has dedicated 16 years to our community as an Instructional Assistant III.

 

Yuko exemplifies the core values of her heritage, especially the deep-seated respect for others, which she considers the cornerstone of her cultural identity. Her commitment to these values significantly contributes to the nurturing and inclusive atmosphere at our schools.

 

Yuko’s favorite culinary delight is sushi, a dish that not only represents the culinary artistry of her culture but also brings a taste of Japan to our diverse community. She enjoys sharing this aspect of her culture with colleagues and students alike, enhancing our appreciation for diverse culinary traditions.

 

What Yuko values most about the Robla community is the constant support and camaraderie she receives. Whether she faces personal challenges or professional hurdles, she knows she can count on the solidarity and assistance from her colleagues, which she deeply appreciates.

 

Yuko takes every opportunity to share her heritage with the Robla community. Through casual conversations and showing pictures from her life and travels, she offers insights into her cultural background, promoting a greater understanding and appreciation among her peers and students.
