Summary
Passionate and dedicated social science student with a strong interest in international education, student development, and cross-cultural communication. Known for empathetic communication, strong administrative skills, and collaborative teamwork, I have hands-on experience in organizing student engagement activities, supporting outreach initiatives, and managing educational content across various platforms.
With previous experience as a student ambassador, research assistant, and exchange student in Korea, I developed a deep understanding of the challenges and possibilities that international education brings. I am eager to apply my organizational and interpersonal skills to contribute to IDP’s mission of transforming lives through global learning opportunities, while continuing to grow within a dynamic and supportive environment.
