Paola Citterio

Paola concluded her BA in Psychology and Japanese studies at the University of Zurich, after spending one year in the fascinating city of Kyoto, doing an exchange year at Kyoto University of Foreign Studies in Japan. She also concluded her MA in Psychology and is currently working as a psychologist. However, she is not letting go of her passion for Japan!

Her interests regarding Japan vary from popular culture such as anime and manga (of course) to more academic areas, such as psychology, religion, and the differences or similarities between our societies and mentalities.
