Konnichiwa!

It's great to meet you! My name is Alyssa Mann, and I am one of the Japanese teachers at Shakopee High School. I am a University of Iowa graduate, but I'm originally from Illinois, where I first learned Japanese in high school. I've enjoyed learning the language ever since. I am married, and have two rabbits that I adore. I love all animals, so please talk to me about your pets!

I spent a few years living in northern Japan, where I taught English in elementary and middle schools. My goal is to help you gain an understanding of both the Japanese language and culture so you can create your own experiences in Japan and create new connections. I hope to see you in my class!

I oversee Japanese Club with Satoh-sensei, and Anime Club.
