Joseph Madamesila

Biography

I lived and worked in Japan for 3 years as part of the JET Programme, receiving both certification for Japanese Proficiency N2 and credits for Japanese Interpretation and Translation. My hobbies are playing guitar, singing, playing video games, and tutoring Japanese to kids throughout the Calgary area. I’m also a proud father of a newborn girl as of 2022.
