About

Juris Doctor candidate and award-winning oral advocate with a strong foundation in cross-border legal frameworks, arbitration research, and legislative drafting. My experience spans analyzing international arbitral developments at a South Korean law firm and drafting transnational fraud remedy acts under UNESCO UNITWIN. Operating as a 5,300m+ snow mountain mountaineer and endurance cyclist has forged an exceptional work ethic, resilience, and the ability to thrive under pressure. Tri-lingual in English, Chinese, and conversational Korean, I bring a collaborative, high-endurance mindset to solving complex global legal challenges.
