Across South Korea and the United States, I have over a decade of teaching and instructional design experience working with learners ranging from children to older adults. Most of this experience has taken place outside higher education, such as mentoring student journalists as co-editor-in-chief for my high school newspaper to a record six awards from the Hawaii Publishers Association, volunteering as an English teacher at a yahak (a South Korean nonprofit serving those who had not completed formal education), developing an after-school program for a high school, and teaching data science through a university outreach initiative.
