What I'm looking for

I'm seeking opportunities in instructional design, blended learning, and creative educational experiences where I can combine storytelling, strategy, design thinking, EdTech, and inclusive learning.

I'm teaching English as a Second Language with the Gyeongsangbuk-do Office of Education in South Korea, designing interactive lessons for elementary and middle school learners. I use presentations, games, and AI-supported activities to build speaking confidence and participation.

Before education, I managed creative workflows and campaign delivery at Boomtown and BRAND et al, coordinating teams, timelines, resources, and communication across advertising projects.

I'm building toward instructional design, blended learning, and creative educational experiences through EdTech, Moodle, curriculum development, digital learning design, and inclusive education. I'm also a Google Certified Educator Level 2 and am pursuing an MA in Educational Leadership and Management.
