Kayla West
Nagasaki-ken, 2016-2019
During her time on the JET Programme as an ALT, Kayla lived on Iki Island in Nagasaki Prefecture from 2016-2019. For three years, she was deeply involved in her school communities through English clubs, debates, recording audiobooks, and the school band, while also immersing herself in local culture through taiko, koto, shodō, sadō, kimono, ikebana, and exploring Iki’s rich history.
Since returning to Canada, Kayla has continued teaching as an online and occasional educator, remained active within the JETAA community, and regularly participates in Japanese cultural events across the GTA. A passionate writer, she draws on her time in Japan to inspire the characters and worlds of her forthcoming novel series.
