FuJET Council

Hi, I’m Alexandra De La Hoz, but please call me Alexa! I am a third year JET in Showa Village in the Aizu Region. I enjoy eating, having a beer on the weekends, and exploring places that aren’t too touristy. I especially love driving around Fukushima and traveling across Japan. As president, I hope to be someone you can count on to help create fun events and make the most of our time together here in Fukushima.

Hello~ 

My name is Jessica Yeung and I am from Vancouver, Canada. I’m based in Aizuwakamatsu City where I’ve been teaching at an elementary school, junior high school and high school since August 2022!

In my free time, I like to go running, skiing, ice skating, and going to cafes. Since moving to Japan, I’ve had a wonderful time attending FuJET events. I met so many amazing people going to FuJET events. My favourite event I have attended is  annual Ski event and Christmas party. It was a lot of fun.  Also don’t hesitate to reach out for anything. Whether it's a chat, advice, or a travel recommendation, I'm here to help!

Hope to see you around at our events!

Ey up! My name is Niamh, I`m a first year senior high school ALT from Manchester, UK.

I currently live in the sunny seaside city of Iwaki! My hobbies include trying everything new! I enjoy exploring new prefectures, reading, camping and hiking! My aim is to explore as many new prefectures as possible. I`m also vegetarian, so if you need any recommendations, hit me up ;)

I love my life in Fukushima, I really do believe it`s the best one! A lot of that is due to the nature and lifestyle here but also the people. I`ve been really grateful to be able to meet so many new people from different backgrounds through FuJET, so I`m excited to be apart of the team! 

Hello everyone, I’m Molly and I’m a first year high school ALT from Yorkshire, UK! I’m really excited to be FuJETs website manager, alongside making digital content with Niamh for our socials this year to promote our events. I’m teaching both English and French at my high school in Fukushima City and I really love to read, journal, enjoy nature, and spend a lot of time crafting and listening to music. 

Since coming to Fukushima, it’s been wonderful hanging with amazing people in such gorgeous scenery and I really want to share that with more people, and the rest of the world online this year, especially through our website.

Let’s all make some super cute memories together at our events and find me online anytime!

Hey everyone! I’m Alex, and originally from the UK. I’m a 3rd year JET, and I love living in this beautiful prefecture. I enjoy shrine stamp collecting, ukio-e prints, and karaoke. I want to visit every Japanese prefecture, and I’m about halfway here!

FuJet is a great opportunity to try new things, explore Fukushima, and meet amazing people. I came to many events before joining the council, and it’s always been fun! The Christmas party and ski weekend are some of our biggest events and they never disappoint. This year, I’ll be contributing to events with activities and games. I look forward to seeing you at our next event!

Hello! I’m Nina, and I’m excited to be on the 2026-2027 FuJET Council for a second year! I’m looking forward to writing informative newsletters and making more cute akabeko keychains and FuJET merchandise, as well as creating FuJET’s first free digital magazine! I’m looking forward to seeing you at our events this year!
