Japan Society of Boston Meets Laura Escher (Okinawa, 2023-2024)
In partnership with Japan Society of Boston, USJETAA is proud to share the JSB Meets JET Alumni interview series which explores the JET experience across Japan.
In February of 2026, Japan Society of Boston got to know Laura Escher (Okinawa, 2023-2024).
How has your connection in relation to Japan changed since living in Japan?
My connection to Japan is stronger now than ever before! I returned to Okinawa this past summer to see friends and volunteer at an English summer camp. I helped in the interview process for the JET Program in January of last year and plan to help again. I am taking the JLPT N3 in December this year as well. My passion for teaching English as a foreign language hasn’t faded and it will likely remain something that I do on the side throughout my life.
