Bio

I am an incoming Master of Arts in Education student with a focus on School Psychology. I aim to become a School Psychologist for a district in Northern California. 10 years ago, I wrote in my time capsule that I hoped to be a psychologist. I am thrilled to be pursuing this career path and realizing my initial dreams of advocating and identifying areas for student growth. Only with care, protection, and strict attention to detail will our students be able to thrive in a school setting. I want to represent and be part of the voice of the minority population of school psychologists. When not working to support students in education, I am cooking, listening to music, singing, and dancing. As a Korean American, I have immense pride in my identity and love to share Korean culture with others, through translations from Korean to English, K-pop groups and songs, as well as Korean content (dramas, variety shows, festivals).
