Hello! I’m Lauren Goeku (Unik).
I’m originally from Manitoba, Canada and have been living in Japan off and on for the past 11 years. Currently, I’m located in Okinawa. In 2015, I graduated with a Master’s in Education from the Faculty of Education at the University of Cambridge (UK) with an award of distinction.
During my undergraduate degree in psychology, I won a $48,000 graduate scholarship from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Council of Canada (NSERC) for my research proposal in cognitive science. My undergraduate thesis was awarded a Canadian Psychological Association Award of Excellence, and I also received the Ten Have Award for Most Outstanding Undergraduate Thesis in the Department of Psychology at the University of Manitoba.
I have extensive experience in writing and editing and have been published in the International Journal of Psychology (2008) and the Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology (2012). I completed my undergraduate degree in Psychology from the University of Manitoba.
I also have an ongoing professional relationship with several science laboratories in Japan to edit their manuscripts before submitting them for peer-reviewed publication.
Since August 2019, I’ve been a proud member of the Association of International Graduate Admissions Consultants.
I have two wonderful children, and in our free time, we love going on adventures, growing things in our garden, and spending time with our dog, Hugo.
I look forward to meeting you soon.
Lauren Goeku
