Short Bio:

After teaching for the past 7 years in South Korea, I'm looking forward to embarking upon a new challenge. I have experience and seek employment in retail merchandising. As much as I love the UK and will miss my family, I look forward to working abroad again. I consider myself extremely outgoing, logical, sensible, hard working, and determined. I promise to work hard and carve out a fruitful and rewarding career.
