Summary

A current university student striving to gain more experience to widen my view of the world, I hope to challenge myself while contributing happily to wherever I receive the opportunity to work in. As a Korean studying English and theatre in the United States, and a philosophy enthusiast teaching children and self-learning business and marketing, I hope my various set of skills and past experience may also be a useful asset to the grateful corporation who receives me.

In summary: I am confident that I would be passionate enough to devote myself to - and enjoy - the work I commit in. Organized, optimistic, and challenging.
