What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to leverage my linguistic expertise in a collaborative environment, focusing on educational development and language support.

I am an experienced linguist and educator with over five years of expertise in teaching, translation, and editing. My specialization in theoretical syntax and sentence processing allows me to tailor lessons effectively to meet the diverse needs of learners.

Throughout my career, I have designed and delivered engaging lessons in both Korean and English, focusing on language education and literacy programs. My role as an editor and translator has further honed my linguistic skills, enabling me to produce high-quality translations and ensure grammatical accuracy in various documents. I am passionate about leveraging my knowledge to contribute positively to the educational landscape.
