Activities and Interests

Cooking

I love eating! This is one of my favorite Korean dishes - Galbi-jjim. Food has the beautiful ability to bring back past memories or create new ones. I always look forward to sharing a meal with friends and family.

Lifting

Because I love eating, I lift weights to stay in shape. This is a picture of the first time I hit 405lbs on deadlift. Lifting is a fun way for me to connect with friends, and the best part is that I can track my progress in real time.

Gym

Organizing Hackathons

My main involvement on campus is in BostonHacks. We're an on campus organization that plans one of the largest annual hackathons in the Boston area! This is where I found my footing within the tech community and I hope to be able to provide the same to newcomwers.
