Biography

As a recent graduate, I am dedicated to creating learning opportunities for students and professionals to increase their awareness of keys issues in Asia, with a particular emphasis on the Korean peninsula.

My background in events programming, data analysis, and grant writing have helped me to develop excellent organizational skills and attention to detail, which I hope to utilize in my pursuit to help others in their educational pursuits in regards to language and culture.
