International
A vertical journey through the places that have shaped me.
2005
Gainesville, FL
My first home. My father completed his PhD at the University of Florida. My mother joined him with my older brother and gave birth to me there. She insists we went to Disney World when I was 2, but I have no memory of it.
2006
Korea
My parents moved back to Korea with us. My father's company needed him back, and we started living life as a typical Korean family. I attended a Korean public school in Seoul, then a private school nearby for a couple of years.
2016
Toronto
Big change in life. I was sent to a homestay in Canada to live with an Asian host family for a couple of years. I learned to speak English, and adjust to a new way of life. I don't remember much, but I recall I was a troublemaker.
2019
Seoul
I returned to Seoul, Korea and attended an international high school (YISS).
2023
Boston
Joined Boston University.
2026
Washington, D.C.
A semester abroad!
