Why San Francisco is important to me: Though it is my first time living in this city, I have always known I would end up in San Francisco one day. A city rich with history for my family and for Asian-Americans in general, San Francisco represents an important part of a past larger than me. At the same time, San Francisco is one of the most exciting cities on the forefront of progressive politics and technology. I couldn’t be more excited to be in a city that embodies both a frontier mentality while retaining a powerful sense of historical identity.

Something unique about me: I spent a year abroad in Seoul doing research on nuclear energy policy on a Fulbright fellowship. I also became a certified insurance agent in California on a whim and have biked around Europe with friends.
