I moved from South Korea to the U.S. in 8th grade with the goal of learning English. What started as a short-term plan turned into a long-term journey as I ended up staying through completion of my undergraduate degree from Macalester College in Minnesota. After college, I moved back to Korea to work at MyMusicTaste, a startup company in the K-Pop industry, where I served as a legal assistant. It was through this experience that I was introduced to tax analysis and international tax law, sparking my interest in going to law school. I am excited to assist clients with both routine and complex tax matters so they can focus on growing their businesses.
저는 중학교 3학년에 영어를 배우기 위해 미국 유학을 시작했습니다. 처음엔 단기 체류를 생각했지만, 미네소타의 매칼러스터 칼리지에서 학사 과정을 마치고 위스콘신 대학교 로스쿨까지 졸업하게 되었습니다. 로스쿨 진학을 결심하게 된 계기는 대학 졸업 후 한국으로 돌아가 K-Pop 스타트업인 마이뮤직테이스트(MyMusicTaste)에서 리걸 어시스턴트로 근무하며 국제 세법을 접하게 되면서입니다. 이 경험을 통해 세법에 대한 흥미가 생겼고, 전문성을 갖추기 위해 본격적으로 공부하게 되었습니다. 앞으로 국내외 기업 고객들이 크고 작은 세금 문제로부터 자유로워져 비즈니스 성장에 집중할 수 있도록, 실질적이고 전문적인 법률 서비스를 제공하는 것이 제 목표입니다.
My Approach
Tax law isn’t known for being approachable—and that’s exactly what I love about it. I’m able to serve as a conduit for my clients—translating complex tax rules and requirements into actionable steps to help them achieve their business goals. I take the time to get to know my clients and their businesses, helping them to identify concrete economic incentives along the way. The best part of my job is helping my clients find opportunities or optimize benefits they didn’t know they had.
Outside of work, I like to stay active by running and taking ballet classes. Back home in Korea, I love to hike. I recommend traveling to Korea to anyone who likes to hike as there are layers and layers of mountains, and each season offers different scenery.
