Journalist, Editor, Photographer, Designer, and English InstructorI have been working as a journalist, photographer, graphic designer, artist, and instructor. I also freelance as a writer and photojournalist. During my four years in the Marines I was responsible for finding, writing, and photographing stories of interest and supervising subordinates' assignments. My understanding of multiple aspects of journalism: photography/video, writing, layout/design, and media relations, have made me a valued contributor to many publications and news agencies.
I have been teaching English in Seoul, South Korea for the past four years. I have taught students who were as young as elementary school, however I currently teach business English to adults.
