Summary

Academia has led to the desire of pursuing the pathway of an educational and entrepreneurial career. I've been a foreign language English Instructor in South Korea for 3 years and have gained professional experience in the industry. I'm currently in transition of a career change and am focused on a career in Software and Web Development. This passion for computer technology is motivation to learn and develop new skills that will be valuable for years to come.
