Taught the English language in a public elementary school to grades 3-6.-Responsible for coming up with creative lesson plans to keep over 600 Korean students engaged and focused on learning English in a fun way.-By living in a foreign country and experiencing the same communication barriers that my students were faced with on a daily basis, I was able to design a human-centered and empathetic approach to my teaching style. This same lesson can be applied to any UX problem I’m trying to tackle—simply analyzing people’s behavior and problems isn’t enough. I have to make them my own.
