About Me
I am a student currently deciding to switch into the Pratt School of Engineering at Duke University. I am an undergraduate here in Air Force ROTC which is another reason why I am pursuing a technical degree. I am originally from a US Naval Base in Japan called Fleet Activities Sasebo and am a half-Japanese half-American living it up as a Blue Devil!
Name Pronunciation
Japanese Name is "Yuuta" sounds like "You-tuh" Not like the state of Utah, please don't call me that. Just call me by my middle name Rikki because my Japanese name is off limits for those who cannot speak Japanese.
