Long explanation:

The Korean grammar point '~(으)로서 [(eu)roseo]' is used when you want to express the concept of doing something or existing in the capacity or status of something or someone. This is akin to the English preposition 'as'. The rule to remember is, if the noun ends with a consonant, we use 으로서, and if the noun ends with a vowel, we use 로서.
