Learn About Me
During my years as a Communications major, I have developed unique skills. Here I can showcase them accordingly. I like to focus on the interpersonal and intercultural communication. I have studied abroad in South Korea, and have become immersed in conducting research on this country and their rich culture. I am currently preparing my TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) certificate, to teach English in South Korea.
