I am a fourth-year PhD candidate in Child and Adolescent Development Program. I earned my bachelor's and master's degrees in Human Development and Family Studies at Seoul National University. Additionally, I have experience as a lead teacher at a childcare center in Seoul, Korea. My research interests revolve around children's utilization of interactive media such as smart speakers, video chat, and eBooks within a learning context. I am dedicated to exploring ways to enhance children's effective learning with media.
