Rachel started her profession as an educator in 2008 at Chungdahm Learning, one of the ESL corporations in South Korea. After executing the curriculum as an instructor, she began her position as an instructor trainer on the Human Resources team. During her five years as a trainer, Rachel oversaw the April English program, training over 1,500 teachers and developing a program for new instructors from abroad to teach in Korea. After completing her master?s degree from Massey University in New Zealand, Rachel used her training abilities to manage the global translation team at NAVER V LIVE for two years. In 2008, Rachel started an EdTech company, Tickr (later pivoted to BeAptive), a social media platform for STEM students worldwide. Rachel raised 1.1 million USD for app and content development, and Tickr launched on iOS and Android in 2019. After the launch, Tickr signed an MoU with SEAMEO STEM-ED to provide STEM content to students across Southeast Asia. In December 2019, she participated in the MoU signing ceremony and had an opportunity to pilot at three private elementary schools in Bangkok. Tickr also gained much traction in the United States and the United Kingdom, with over 75% of downloads accumulated from these two regions over the first six months of launch.
