Background

I was born in Seoul, South Korea, and immigrated to Canada when I was 7 years old. For the most part, I grew up in beautiful Vancouver, B.C., where I attended elementary school, high school, and university at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver campus. I then obtained my Juris Doctor degree from the University of Calgary, just an hour east from Banff, Alberta, and proceeded to complete my articles (a mandatory one-year training program in Canada post law school before an attorney can become licensed) in Ontario.

In 2019, I moved to Seattle, at which time I pursued a Master of Laws at the University of Washington. Upon graduating in 2020, I have been practicing primarily, if not exclusively, in the area of family law.

As a first-generation immigrant and first attorney in my family, I prioritize volunteering and giving back to my community alongside dedicating my time to my clients and my practice. I have recently served as co-president of the Korean American Bar Association, I am the minority bar association representative for the Washington State Bar Licensure Task Force, and I am a volunteer attorney at Eastside Legal Assistance Program.

Out of the office, you can find me exploring new restaurants in the city, traveling to new places, and spending time with my family, including my two samoyeds, Tofu and Boki.
