About

An engineer and educator who grew up across Australia, Germany, Korea, and the UK — drawn to analytical problem-solving and connecting people.

After the IB Diploma at ACS Cobham and a year of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Leeds, I moved into IT Convergence Engineering at Soongsil University — building a strong foundation in mathematics and engineering thinking.

Alongside, I tutor IB Mathematics and Science and teach English discussion, helping students build confidence and critical thinking. Currently on leave for military service — and still building tools in the meantime.
