City you live in: I currently live in Scottsdale.
A typical day in my life includes… going to work and then the gym.
I was born… in Korea.
My favorite thing about Arizona… the weather and all the outdoor activities. Winters are beautiful and there is always something for me to do outside like hiking, camping,
I’m listening to… I love listening to music from different decades and genres. To be honest, I listen to Two Friends’ Big Bootie Mixes because it provides hour-long mixes of songs from every decade and genre and blends them together seamlessly.
My family… lives in Arizona and Seoul, Korea.
If I could have dinner with anyone, it would be… Albert Einstein, Leonardo Da Vinci, Cleopatra, and Genghis Khan. Then I would be able to talk about science, art and war.
One thing I cannot live without… sleep.
When I was younger, I wanted to be… a professional athlete.
I’m inspired by… My dad who has always provided support and encouragement to me. He has inspired me to pursue my dream of becoming a doctor and to live my own life with integrity, kindness, and empathy.
The one person who motivates me is… My dad is a successful businessman and has taught me from a very early age about work ethics. Throughout his life he used his strong work ethic to provide for our family and achieve his goals both personally and professionally. My dad motivates me to set high expectations in my life and achieve my own goals.
If I could change anything in the world, it would be… injustice because it impacts individuals, communities and society as a whole in profound ways. Injustice isn’t limited to any one region or country, it’s a global issue.
The perfect day would be… sleeping in, having a nice brunch and then playing a good round of golf with a beer. I would end it with a nice dinner with the people I love.
My first job was… a research assistant.
My favorite escape… is to travel.
My life… has been good so far.
I’m currently working on… growing both professionally and personally.
Always… a grouch in the morning.
Never… eat cilantro.
Favorite Quote… is from Dalai Lama, “The purpose of our lives is to be happy.”
Biggest Dream… is to just be happy in life.
My Pet Peeve(s)… is when people are being disrespectful.
