Kyoko Hamazaki is the assistant manager of TMC Freeriderz (since 1999) and manager of Advantage E/J English School (since 2003) in Whistler. Her father, Toshi Hamazaki, arrived in Whistler in the fall of 1970 after being head-hunted by those putting together Whistler's ski school. He raised his family in Whistler and today they run TMC Freeriderz, Whistler's Lips lip balm, and the Advantage English School. Kyoko attended UBC, then moved back to Whistler to help run the family's businesses. She completed her TESL teaching certification in 2004, and has taught English at Advantage E/J English School since then. She has also spent 3 years working at a private international school for children in Tokyo. She also works as a freelance translator and has translated for various publications such as Tarzan Magazine, Freestyle Ski Magazine, Yamakei Publishing Company, as well as various Olympic and World Cup athletes and private companies. She holds her NCCP Certification (National Canadian Coaching Certification) and Canadian Freestyle Ski Association Club Coach 1 certification, and has also spent time as a freestyle skier and coach.
