I have always had a fascination for everything puzzling and cryptic. I loved the GCHQ problem books and always had several wooden puzzles on my desk growing up. I would reverse engineer these out of the box and refuse to look at the "cheat sheet" no matter how challenging of a task I faced. This has naturally given me a keen interest in problem solving and analysis, which has been the inspiration behind my degree, and is motivating me in my current studies.
I have a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Liverpool, graduating in 2021. During my studies and after graduation, I have gathered quite a good range of varied experience in different sectors and cultures, including while working abroad.
During my degree, I worked in Maine, United States on a summer camp for special needs children and adults. This gave me a fantastic opportunity to gain experience not only working abroad, but also engage in leadership training and activity co-ordinating. My team and I worked hard to ensure campers with a variety of special needs could partake in both water and land-based sports and recreational events.
As of right now, I am an English teacher in Seoul, South Korea. I have been teaching children aged 7-10 for three years now, being in charge of my own class for each one of these years. Working in a culture that is so different from your own hasn't been without challenge, however working in South Korea has given me invaluable skills and knowledge that I want to apply and share in my future career!
