What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a remote-friendly role where I can contribute to cross-cultural or language-focused projects—especially those connected to education, mental health, Asian culture, or AI development. I thrive in environments that value autonomy, creative problem-solving. I'm especially drawn to companies that balance efficiency with empathy, and who are open to non-linear career paths.

I’m a globally experienced educator and mental health trainer with a background in teaching, translation, and event management across South Korea, Vietnam, and the UK. I thrive in multicultural settings and have spent over a decade supporting learning, communication, and wellbeing through language and culturally sensitive training.

Previously a junior national alpine skier, I bring the same focus and discipline to my work today—whether I’m running workshops, organizing corporate events, or translating ideas across borders. I’m currently expanding into AI and remote tech fields, building Python skills and exploring data annotation, with a strong interest in Korean and Asian cultural content.
