Curriculum Vitae

Teaching Philosophy

As a social work educator, my teaching philosophy focuses on 1) facilitating social work students to develop their professional viewpoint and attitude, 2) creating a culture of a mutually respectful classroom on the basis of cultural humility, and 3) helping students equip with the research-practice-policy collaboration in their future social work practice. 

Outside Interests

Out of the university, I like cooking, singing at home, walking in a park, playing tennis or golf, and learning something new. I also love to share K-pop and K-culture with anyone who is interested.
