What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can support multicultural students through counseling and education, lead programs, and develop inclusive curriculum in student-centered, mission-driven environments.

I am an experienced educator and counselor with a decade of international school teaching, currently pursuing a DMin and serving as a resident counselor at World Mission University. I combine classroom leadership with counseling training to support students academically and emotionally.

My work spans founding and administering alternative and international schools, directing educational programs for international students, and teaching Korean language and culture. I hold a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology, an MS in Plant Physiology, ACSI secondary teaching certification, a TEFL certificate, and a Korean teaching license.

I am committed to providing equitable educational opportunities for students from diverse backgrounds, and I bring strong communication, multimedia, and problem-solving skills to roles that require vision, project work, and student advocacy.
