An Interdisciplinary thinker of Media, EdTech, AI/Data Ethics, Digital Education, Children's Digital Rights,
Researcher for Covid-19 @LSEMedia project.
Hello World,
I am Saemi (also go by Nadine).
I am a financial news anchor turned media & communications scholar who strongly believes in the power of education.
Growing up as a third culture kid, I have always been fasicanted by different ways of thinking and viewing the world. Born and partially raised in South Korea, a third of my life was spent in North America and Germany, another third in South Korea to work as a financial journalist, then in London, UK, where I did my Master's of Social Science in Media and Communications. Currently, I am living and studying in Vancouver, Canada, where I am pursuing my Ph.D. in Communication.
My doctoral research takes a comparative lens to look at the development of EdTech, investigating in what ways technologies influence, shape the future of education. Currently, I work on research projects identifying models of resilience that help sustain the socio-cultural and democratic functions of cultural organisations during and beyond times of acute crisis like global pandemic and platform policies.
My research work includes comparative cross-national policy analysis of the EU and South Korean education, gendered racism in media news representation during the COVID-19 and data justice/ethics.
In addition to being a PhD student, I am a Founder and CEO of the Baeum Institute and Society, and Academic and Entrepreneurial Lifestyle Content Creator.
I am driven by the values that I believe in. I hope my work will continue to serve the world, especially help those who are marginalized, underrepresented, who can use empowerment.

Financial News Anchor turned Media & Communications Scholar.
I'm a former financial news anchor turned Media & Communications scholar, content creator, writer, cultural ambassador to South Korea and unshakable believer in the power of love. I'm a passionate media and communciations scholar, student of life whose curiosity ranges from political economy of education, cultural studies, media/data ethics to classical music.
My passion and love for learning enables me to challenge the world, question why the world the way it is and look for ways to bring justice, equality and better world to live in for the next generations. With my extensive experiences in broadcasting and in the field of media & communications, I have recently jumped into the academic world to gain more theoretical knowledge in this interdisciplinary field.
As we are living in a thoroughly mediated world, I pour my passion and heart into understanding the fast changing the world through media and technologies and how they influence our thinking, the way we are living, and impact our culture.
I believe without 'real communication,' we can't be happy. That is how I came to what I do now, from being a world-travelling professional pianist, law scholar, financial news anchor to Media & Communications scholar, currently residing in London, UK, researching and studying.
