About

I am a 2.5 generation Korean-American woman who has a passion for life and always gives 100% to achieve my goals. I always put family first and respect every one regardless of who he or she is. Though I have hit some tough times through out my life, I count each hardship a blessing because it has made me the woman I am today - strong and determined.

Goals and interests

Career goal

I plan on pursuing my career within the hotel industry, growing and learning through out my journey and one day have a executive position of a six star hotel.

Graduate school interests

I plan on attending graduate school after my bachelors. My goal is to attend Cornell University starting Spring 2017.

Outside the classroom

As silly as it may sound, I love to work. I enjoy keeping myself busy so I work full time in order to grow as a person and gain as much experience as possible.
I also enjoy working out; I am certified Insanity instructor. Insanity is a cross-fit work out which started as a home video work out but has expanded to being taught in group fitness classes across the U.S.
