What I'm looking for

I'm seeking doctoral research and development opportunities where I can contribute to undergraduate and postgraduate education through high-quality teaching, curriculum innovation, and research-informed instruction.

I bring psychological research, higher-education teaching, and instructional design together to make complex concepts clear, accessible, and rigorous.

At Busan Metropolitan Office of Education, I designed curriculum-aligned English instruction, tailored lessons for diverse learners, and used assessment and feedback to support measurable progression.

As an Assistant Researcher at Busan National University, I analysed archival audio recordings for a doctoral project on second-language acquisition and phonetic development, supporting qualitative design, coding, thematic analysis, and academic reporting.

Through Snoots London, I provide remote animal-human behavioural support, combining behavioural observation, wellness monitoring, owner coaching, and holistic care planning. I'm seeking doctoral research and development opportunities where I can contribute to teaching, curriculum innovation, and research-informed education.
