Songdo-Dong, Incheon, South Korea

Lived in South Korea for several years as an expat. My role gave me the opportunity to introduce American culture and plan and execute many events for the Expat, Diplomat and Korean communities including Trunk or Treat, International Festivals and Easter Egg Hunts to name a few. Each of these events were planned and executed recognizing cultural differences, language barriers and limited funding. My relationship with the local government allowed me to be successful in these endeavors.
