I’m Shizuka (pronounced she-zoo-ka)! I’m a New York City-based brand and product marketing strategist currently pursuing an MS in Integrated Marketing at NYU. I specialize in crafting narratives that build brand equity and drive business growth through cultural insight and creative execution.
My worldview is shaped by a life split between Taiwan, Canada, and Japan, instilling in me a natural adaptability and deep empathy. I’m experienced in building go-to-market brand strategies, sharpening product positioning, managing B2B accounts, and launching influencer campaigns. Having worn creative, operational, and client-facing hats, I am at my best in fast-paced, collaborative spaces that push boundaries.
Outside of work, I am a USA National Touch Rugby athlete who competed in the Women's Open division at the 2024 Federation of International Touch World Cup in Nottingham, England. I am also working towards becoming a certified Pilates instructor through BASI (Body Arts and Science International) Pilates. My background in elite sport and training as a Pilates instructor shape how I show up professionally—channeling that same drive, discipline, and intentionality into everything I do.
