What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to support individuals in their personal growth and learning, within a positive and collaborative environment.

I am a dedicated professional with a Master of Arts in Psychology in Education from Teachers College, Columbia University. My academic journey has been marked by a commitment to understanding human behavior and supporting individuals through various challenges. I graduated Summa Cum Laude from CUNY Queens College, where I received the Gregory Razran Award for having the highest GPA in Psychology. This foundation has equipped me with the skills necessary to excel in diverse roles, particularly in educational and support settings.

Throughout my career, I have gained valuable experience as a Supervisor/Server at Wayla in New York, where I honed my administrative and communication skills while managing various responsibilities. Additionally, my role as a Grief/Behavioral Specialist at Experience Camps allowed me to work closely with grieving youth, helping them navigate their emotions in a supportive environment. I have also served as an Administrative Assistant/Receptionist, where I effectively managed schedules and communications, ensuring smooth operations within the organization.

As a Personal Tutor, I have successfully taught Korean to adults and provided English lectures on psychology topics in South Korea. My fluency in Korean and basic conversational skills in French enable me to connect with diverse populations. I am passionate about fostering learning and growth in others, and I am eager to bring my skills and experiences to a new opportunity where I can make a positive impact.
