Meet Our Co-Manager

Hirona serves as the Co-Manager of Chit-Chat Canada and plays an important role in supporting our community, events, and day-to-day operations.

Before coming to Canada, she worked in Japan as a system engineer. With a desire to broaden her perspective and gain international experience, she decided to study abroad and is currently enrolled in a Co-op program, majoring in Business Management.

Hirona enjoys meeting new people and connecting with individuals from different cultural backgrounds. Her friendly personality and interest in community building naturally led her to become involved with Chit-Chat as an organizer.

Through her experience supporting events, she became interested in contributing more deeply to the management side of the community. As Co-Manager, she helps create a welcoming environment where students, newcomers, and locals can feel comfortable joining, speaking, and making new connections.

With her background in technology, business, and cross-cultural communication, Hirona is excited to help Chit-Chat Canada grow into an even more engaging, inclusive, and lively community.
