ABOUT ME

I am currently a political science major at the University of Michigan. Nah, I'm not thinking of running for the next president. And I do stay informed with current events. Just a general question people ask me upon knowing my major.
I am organized, respectful, tolerant, and genuine. I go for both coffee and tea. I love art, but not the American landscapes too much. I stretch and do yoga here and then, and I love to hike. I am very open to sharing and listening to stories of all sorts. I'm not much a movie person, but I love theatre. I am trying to pick up on reading slowly. Instead, I write. Oh, and beer always trumps them all!

I was born in Minnesota, but I've lived in Arkansas, two provinces in South Korea, both SoCal and NorCal(Bay Area!!), and most recently in DC. I am in fact a dual citizen of South Korea and the United States, so I had to learn how to navigate in two very different cultures. With that said, I am very open to meeting new people who would broaden my horizon with their life experiences and perspectives.

PHILOSOPHY

There's nothing more that I enjoy than getting to know someone beyond the superficial manner. I love sitting down and having an honest conversation and really getting to know the person. But I'm also a fun person to have around and will lighten up your day if you keep me around. The underlying "philosophy" is that I don't take your time, your patience, your energy, and your generosity for granted and I am very mindful and respectful of it all.

TRAVELING & LISTENING
I love traveling, and many of the National Parks in the US. Death Valley!! The best part about traveling though is really about meeting and appreciating new people.

OTHER STUFF
hm, I am passionate about civil rights concerning the Asian American community, the queer community, and women. I am also environmentally aware. That said, personal freedom matters to me too.

Music, Movies, and Books

MUSIC
I'm not good with remembering band names or song names but when I do it means I'm loving it. I love slow electronic dreamy sexy songs mmhm, Glass Animals. But I'm really open to all sorts. Recently, I've been absolutely loving J.Cole's new album and ol' jazz.

ART
so much love for SFMOMA. Period.

FOOD
If you ask me to judge food, I shall. I have quite exquisite taste but hey I won't say no to a good burger or Chipotle!
