From Seoul British School to Taipei European School to leading US programs, I specialize in creating meaningful cross-cultural learning experiences through music, storytelling, and artistic expression.
International Teaching Excellence
My professional path led me to prestigious international schools across Asia, where I discovered my calling as a cultural connector through music education:
Seoul British School (1990-1994): Teaching students from over 20 countries, I adapted Western curriculum for multicultural classrooms while honoring each student's cultural background. Music became our universal language.
Taipei European School (1997-2000): Returning to my heritage homeland, I blended European classical traditions with Asian musical heritage, creating programs celebrating Taiwan's cultural diversity. This homecoming deepened my understanding of how cultural identity shapes musical expression.
United States Programs (2000-Present): Through special education, private instruction, and community building, I serve families from diverse backgrounds. This work reinforces my belief that music bridges any divide and creates meaningful connections across cultures.
