I bring together more than two decades of curriculum design, K–12 district experience, customer success, team coaching, commercial leadership, and AI-assisted learning to build partnerships rooted in clarity, trust, and measurable progress.
District teams need more than a handoff. They need a partner who understands educators, translates complexity, notices risk early, and keeps everyone moving toward stronger classroom outcomes.
Align goals, roles, timelines, and expectations so every partner begins with confidence.
Deliver practical onboarding, training, and coaching that educators can use immediately.
Listen actively, track partner health, surface risks, and respond before friction becomes failure.
Turn field feedback into better support, stronger products, renewals, and lasting advocacy.
My career has repeatedly placed me where people, products, performance, and relationships meet.
After ranking #1 in sales for several consecutive months among 90 representatives, I advanced from Sales & Customer Success Representative to Team Lead and then Supervisor. I coached and supported a 24-person team, strengthening sales performance, product knowledge, and customer relationships.
I have served students and educators in the Rochester City, Williamson Central, and Newark Central school districts. That experience, together with graduate preparation in special, bilingual, and Spanish education, grounds my work in the realities educators and district leaders face.
I have built curriculum from scratch since 2002. During the last 18 months in China, I have integrated AI into daily curriculum planning, lesson design, assessments, presentations, and feedback—using technology to make learning more relevant, responsive, and useful.
As founder of HallyuBack International, I negotiated 20+ sponsorships, led a media platform producing 2,500+ videos and 110M+ views, and personally managed 300+ original artwork sales from inquiry through delivery. Every result began with listening, credibility, and trust.
“Partner experience is not a department at the end of a sale. It is the discipline of helping people succeed—again and again—until trust becomes momentum.”
I create the conditions for teams to do excellent work: a shared purpose, disciplined priorities, direct coaching, visible partner signals, and the freedom to solve problems with judgment and empathy.
I am drawn to InquirED because your work lives at the exact intersection that has defined my career: curriculum, educators, relationships, and real-world implementation.
Programs such as Inquiry Journeys, Inkwell, and Great First Eight can only realize their promise when district partners feel understood, well prepared, and genuinely supported. I would be excited to lead a Partner Experience team that makes every handoff, onboarding, training, and support interaction feel coherent, human, and useful.
I would also bring the field closer to the organization—turning partner feedback and health signals into smarter priorities, stronger products, earlier risk response, and relationships that grow over time. That is the kind of leadership challenge I have been preparing for across my entire career.
