Worked as Community outreach officer of my society at university, in which I planned, organised, marketed, and led volunteering events throughout the year. Examples include but not limited to; planting trees, delivering food to the homeless, visiting care homes, organising blood and bone marrow donations.
Skills: Completed a 120 hour TEFL course. First aid trained in low level work emergencies by St John Ambulance.
Interests: I have a large family, so I am very family oriented and majority of my free time, I try to spend with them. I enjoy reading fantasy novels and psychology books such as “The Courage to be Disliked”. I really enjoy fiction through any medium, such as studying well made films from great directors. Christopher Nolan is my favourite director. My love of fiction has inspired me to write my own novel. I am currently in the early stages of my first draft of my own book set in an alternative history of Korea. I play volleyball regularly to try and stay healthy.
I have been working towards becoming a teacher most of my life, and I'm really looking forward to this new area of teaching.
