My journey within East Asian Medicine began while I was in my teens when I was presented with a very rare opportunity to be introduced to acupuncture and the meridians through my practice of Hapkido in Korea. I was profoundly influenced by my mentor who was not only a master of martial arts but also a doctor of East Asian Medicine. Since those early years, my curiosity and eagerness led me to read as much as I could to learn even more about this ancient art of medicine and healing.  
However, several years passed before I was able to delve more deeply into this medicine. After completing my Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science with a concentration in Information Technology, I worked in tech by day, and re-discovered my true passion for East Asian Medicine over countless evenings. I eventually pursued my dream of becoming a doctor of East Asian Medicine and began my practice as a licensed provider in 2011. I have since joined Kaiser Permanente in 2021, where I continue to practice within the specialty of integrative pain medicine.  

As a doctor of East Asian Medicine, I strive to provide an integrative care experience that is patient-centered, compassionate, and comprehensive in encompassing all aspects of health and well-being.
