An Ontario Certified Teacher whose practice was shaped in three countries and five Ontario public schools.
I completed my Bachelor of Education at York University after earning a bachelor's degree in history at The Chinese University of Hong Kong and a master's degree at Seoul National University, where I also worked as a teaching assistant in history education.
My Ontario school-based experience spans Junior and Intermediate classrooms with the Toronto District School Board and York Region District School Board, including an Intermediate LEAP classroom and a community practicum in an after-school program.
Multilingual classrooms are familiar ground. I work in English, Mandarin, and Korean, and that perspective shapes how I scaffold language, choose texts, and build routines students can rely on.
Five Ontario placements, three defining classrooms.
Placement types differ in scope, duration, and instructional responsibility. Each entry states its own classification.
