I am a UC Berkeley graduate (Political Economy, 2022) currently working as a Business Development Associate at The Color Studio in the Bay Area, and applying to Master in Management programs as a next step.

My background spans financial analysis, business development, legal research, and independent investment work across real estate, consumer, and technology sectors.

I am targeting roles in corporate development, venture capital, financial analysis, and growth equity in San Francisco, Austin, and Seattle. I am a fluent Korean speaker, which adds meaningful value in roles bridging US and Korean investment ecosystems.

The work on this site represents self-initiated projects and analyses I have been building on my own time to develop real skills across finance and strategy.

Open to conversations.
