What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to grow as a lawyer while helping others.

I am a dedicated and diligent lawyer based in California, originally from South Korea. My journey in law began with a strong academic foundation, having earned my J.D. equivalent from Handong International Law School and a Master of Laws from Florida Coastal School of Law. My education has been complemented by extensive writing and research, where I tackled over 100 performance tests and various legal issues, honing my legal English proficiency.

Although I am at the beginning of my legal career, I have gained valuable experience through internships and public service roles. My time as a legal intern at a local Prosecutor's office in South Korea allowed me to inspect criminal investigatory reports and summarize cases, while my role at the Seoul Global Center involved planning programs and providing consultations for foreign residents. I am passionate about using my skills to support others and contribute positively to my community.
