About Me

I'm a first-generation Korean-American Medical Student at NYU Grossman School of Medicine. As a reckless kid, I came to the United States alone when I was fourteen in search of new perspectives and life. Started at suburban Georgia, and somehow I ended up at Johns Hopkins University studying Neuroscience, Applied mathematics, with a minor in Computational Medicine. Although it may seem that art is quite irrelevant to things I do, art has always been a prominent aspect in my life - both as a hobby I love and a philosophy that guides the way I think.

​

Many people oftentimes ask me, "How is Art related to math, science, or medicine and all that?" Art - beyond the traditional sense of visual or musical endeavor - is an idea and a way of living that drives someone to constantly search for new ways to interpret objects around us. What started as a mere hobby of visual art, now art has transformed into a form of energy that fuels my academic endeavors. 

​

It's like mixing colors - I enjoy seeing the specific color that emerges from the combinations of selected paints. Art cultivates compassion, creativity, and curiosity. Being an artist is what made me appreciate the process of a scholarship. So, as you experience my works, I highly encourage you to ponder about the nature of what we see everyday, and see how you can find a different angle each and every day.
