Welcome to my About page!
If you’re here, I hope you’re interested in learning more about me and my online activities, which are the heart of this website and community. My name is Josh, known online as Atsumari. In the past, I went by the alias RisaXSeph, which inspired the name of this group.
Who I Am
I am a community manager, counselor-in-training, and health educator. I hold an AS in Psychology, a BS in Community Health Education, and have completed graduate coursework in Vocational and Rehabilitative Counseling. Over the years, I have led various online communities, GMed video games, and engaged in numerous activities related to my hobbies, including technology, video games, anime, and play-by-post role-playing (Simming).
What I Do
My professional experience, both online and offline, spans website application management, writing education, career development, and integrating technology into these fields. My work is rooted in a commitment to helping others learn, grow, and connect, whether it’s through supporting creative writing groups, providing health education, or guiding career development.
My Hobbies
Beyond the internet, my interests include photography, philosophy, classic TV shows, and tabletop role-playing. I also occasionally play on my Xbox and PlayStation 3—though I still haven’t finished Persona 3 or any of the Halo games. (Code Vein? Still stuck on level one…). I also enjoy swimming and basketball—exercise is a great way to manage stress and stay healthy.
A Bit of History
My original online username, RisaXSeph, was inspired by two characters from one of my role-playing stories (Risa Ward and Persephone Branchwood). They were supposed to become a couple, but the story ended before that could happen.
