I am a lecturer of Korean Studies in the School of Humanities and Languages, Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, UNSW. I hold a PhD in Linguistics, a Graduate Diploma in Translation, and a BA (Hons1) in Advanced Korean Studies. I am also a recipient of the Korea Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship.

My teaching portfolio spans Korean language and translation, with a particular focus on beginner and intermediate learners. I have extensive experience across all proficiency levels, from beginner to advanced, and focus on delivering engaging and effective language education.

My research is centred around Korean as a heritage language, sociolinguistics, language pedagogy, and bilingualism. My specific expertise lies in error analysis, language attitudes, instructional methodologies, and the use of Korean in community language contexts. I aim to contribute to the understanding of language learning and acquisition processes and improve educational practices for second-language learners.
