About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To breathe, taste and savor life!

ABOUT ME

Just finished college and starting a Master's program in Piano Performance. Music and art pretty much define my life. My family's Korean but I was born in the US and grew up all over the world.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is too short, so I want to savor every moment of it.
