I am a recent graduate from the M.A. program at the University of Toronto, and am looking for a teaching position in Korea. Primarily I am interested in working at a university, although I am also going for travel, to learn Korean and to learn how to make kimchi. Although I have no formal training, I have had instructive experience, and enjoy the challenge that teaching presents. Please consider the following resume, and contact me if you have any other questions.

Thank you,
