Where did you grow up/study?
I grew up in South Korea and attended an international school there. For university, I attended Michigan State University and I’m currently working towards my graduate degree there as well!
What attracted you to teach at CAIS?
One of the biggest pulls was how big the team is! I also loved how Christ-centered CAIS is and how the school works to show who God and Jesus is to the students.
Biggest challenge and rewarding moment working in education?
Biggest challenge is probably work-life balance as I find it easy to be ambitious and overwork. Another challenge may be delivering content in an engaging manner to the students. Rewarding moments are when students and I have a close relationship and students open up to me or become silly. Another rewarding moment is seeing the tremendous growth in students, whether that’s in grades or skills or more importantly, their confidence.
What do you miss most about your home when you are overseas?
Being able to spend time with family and friends, and food!
