Targeted Resume

Education, Advising & ESL Resume

A role-targeted resume view for academic advising, student success, ESL/TEFL, international education, school support, and education coordination roles.

This version reframes my background for education-facing roles. It does not replace the instructional design resume; it helps recruiters reviewing teaching, advising, student support, and school-related positions see the most relevant experience first.

Relocation: Open to relocating for education, advising, ESL/TEFL, student support, and school-related roles in Southeast Asia or Central Asia.
