She enjoyed helping others and spent much of her career in marketing and translating the Japanese language. Being the single mother of Dillon & Sean, she put her boys first before all else. Noriko was immersed in her Japanese Culture and made sure her boys were well versed in the English language as well as making sure that they could speak fluent Japanese. She loved to travel with her sons and spent every summer break with them in Japan. Dillon & Sean would continue their education during this time going to school in Hiroshima. Noriko was passionate about preparing her sons for anything and everything that they may encounter in the future.
