Summary
Driven by a passion for cultural exchange and language instruction, I excelled in my position as an Assistant Language Teacher in Japan, enhancing students' academic performance and cultural awareness.
My expertise in cross-cultural communication and transcription abilities significantly contributed to duties beyond the teaching position, contributing in cultural exchange program hosted by the Board of education as well as helping with foreign affairs within the city hall.
