• If I had to pick the proudest, longest-running role of my life, it would undoubtedly be "Mom." Truth be told, I'm still a work in progress as a parent; my kids might say I'm far from perfect, but within the cozy "family startup," I've learned more than any job could teach. I'm a master chef of Korean cuisine (think kimchi production at 13 batches a month!), a housekeeper who could give any hotel a run for its money, a top-notch food server, a gold-medal good listener, and—dare I say—the undisputed champion of patience.

• I started working at a beauty supply store in a crew position, and a year later, I became an assistant manager, handling cashier duties and store management.
• Coordinated team schedules to ensure adequate staffing coverage.
• Assisted in training new employees on company policies and procedures.
• Developed and implemented strategies to improve customer service experience.

• At a music and art planning company, I planned, designed, and managed various events, including Samsung COEX exhibitions and model houses.
• Coordinated scheduling and logistics for meetings and events.
• Managed correspondence and communication for the management team.

• After leaving the design company, I worked at an event planning agency in the morning while spending my afternoons part-time at an art academy, assisting preschoolers and elementary school students with various art activities. Beyond simply teaching drawing, I planned and led a range of activities, including sensory stimulation projects and hands-on creative experiences.

Tomb Design was a company located near Dongdaemun in Seoul in the 1990s, situated in an area where Korea's fashion industry was thriving. I worked in their design team, creating illustrations and patterns for T-shirts, and overseeing their production.

• Participated in client meetings to understand project requirements and objectives.
• Researched design trends to ensure modern and relevant aesthetics.
• Assisted in developing brand concepts and marketing materials for clients.
