What I'm looking for

I seek remote or hybrid roles leveraging ESL teaching or animation/illustration skills, with supportive teams, stable schedules, and growth opportunities.

I am an Animation bachelor’s graduate with extensive experience in 2D illustration, Adobe Creative Suite, and ESL instruction. I have taught beginner to advanced English online to South Korean students, completed TEFL/TESOL and ESL certifications, and developed lesson plans, progress reports, and one-on-one and group instruction via video and phone.

I bring years of customer-facing roles including customer service, telemarketing, food service supervision, and tutoring, combined with technical skills in Adobe Photoshop, Animate, Premiere, and Clip Studio Paint. I am dependable, punctual, and focused on delivering clear communication and creative solutions.
