What I'm looking for

I'm looking to support underserved and neurodiverse individuals through inclusive education or behavioral services, using communication, cross-cultural collaboration, and person-centered intervention to promote autonomy and quality of life.

At Rise in Seoul, I design monthly English lesson plans for kindergarten through middle school students, creating inclusive classrooms where students feel heard and engaged. I collaborate with Korean co-teachers and use progress reporting to support student development.

Previously at Center for Social Dynamics, I implemented personalized treatment goals and Behavioral Intervention Plans for clients with autism spectrum disorder. I work calmly with families and multidisciplinary teams to foster independence, communication, life skills, and social interaction.
