Hobbies
I really enjoy teaching. I would've pursued it as a full-time career if it were not for my first passion in health & medicine. My ultimate dream is to join Doctors Without Borders. I have a younger brother in high school. So on top of my tutoring job, helping prepare him for college has kept the material fresh in my mind. As a Korean raised internationally in Hong Kong, I am familiar with both the American and British educational system. My hobbies include rugby, rock-climbing, cooking, photography & painting.
