Tell us about your life outside of work (family/pets/sports/activities/interests/hobbies)
I am a member of the Hope College tennis team. I like to stay active in my free time doing just about anything from basketball to hiking to frisbee. I also enjoy playing chess and video/board games with friends! I have two younger sisters who both go to Hope College. A fun fact about me is that I went to high school in South Korea.
