Background
I was born and raised in Southern California to Korean immigrants who valued education. As a teen, I witnessed the unfortunate decline of close friends/family due to a lack of mental health awareness, substance abuse literacy, and real mentorship. I pursued a career in public education for these reasons and throughout the years have gained unique insights on the college application process.
Experience
Attended the University of CA, San Diego and received a Bachelor’s in Psychology. From there, attended Teacher’s College of Columbia University in New York City for his Masters in Psychological Counseling & Education. 10+ years as a School Counselor. UC Berkeley Application Reader (Part-Time). UCLA Extension Instructor for the College Counseling Certificate Program (Part-Time).
