Moving to the United States and experiencing drastically different conditions from my birthplace of South Korea piqued my original interest in the similarities and differences between cultures and interpersonal interactions. But as I learned more about politics and international affairs during my undergraduate program in Global Studies, my intellectual curiosity even led me to take on a demanding but rewarding double major in Political Science and Diplomacy. However, in the end, this was not enough either, and I turned to the excellent Master of International Affairs program at the Bush School of Texas A&M University to help me achieve my goals.My professional and intellectual interests are chiefly in international relations, foreign policy, and cyber policy, and my personal goals in life are to stay curious, be hardworking, and to always strive for self-improvement.
