Impressed by some other famous voice actors like Romi Park, Tetsuya Kakihara, she wanted to be a voice actress when she was in the primary school.[4] However, at that time, her Japanese is not fluent enough, so her parent against her to be a voice actress. In high school, she took part-time jobs and started to book flights to Japan for voice actress audition. As a result, she passed the audition when she was at the university. Although her parents want her to finish the school, she skipped the university and moved to Japan alone to pursue her dream as a voice actress in 2014.
