Jaehee Park

My job experiences highlight various types of experiences as a linguist in bilingual education. However, I am trying to extend my professions to be connected to STEM fields. Currently, I am taking courses in math, and I am running my start-up lab for organization and research.

I create STEAM curriculum and manage the project to bring innovative curriculum to communities, particularly public schools and public events.
