Why you chose the field of dentistry:
Even before I knew I wanted to be a dentist, I knew that I loved working with people and wanted to contribute positively to our society. I fell in love with dentistry because dentistry is the perfect healthcare professional that fulfills these aspects. I love cooperating with my colleagues and staff as a team working towards the same goal and actively promoting the oral health of my community.
Family Information: Only child, parents live in South Korea.
Hobbies or volunteer services:
I actively participated in volunteering at UW Fear Dental Clinic and other outreach programs for many years to learn and serve diverse patient populations. I also participated in elderly projects at UW school of Dentistry as a student project assistant to educate and promote oral health care, mostly for Korean and Hispanic elderly populations.
When I’m not in the office, I like to go jogging and hiking and enjoy spending my personal time cafe hopping and studying interests other than dentistry.
How many/what kind of pets do you have?
I have a black, chubby cat and his name is Kuro. Kuro loves eating salmon-flavored treats and playing with fishing pole toys.
