As a Korean-American attorney, I have noticed many changes within the legal field and within our office. Over the years, I have seen how the legal community has been creating vast opportunities for minorities of all races, ethnic backgrounds, orientation and cultures, and my experience at the State’s Attorney’s Office has been a reflection of this change.

I was in college when I started to identify with my Asian heritage.  I attended Tulane University in New Orleans, LA where I double majored in Finance and Management.  While at Tulane, I participated in the Tulane University Vietnamese Association and served as treasurer of the Asian American Student Union.  I continued my education at DePaul University College of Law, where I received my Juris Doctor.  At DePaul, I served as the Vice President and Academic Assistance Coordinator of the Asian Pacific American Law Student Association.  From 2005 to 2008, I served as a board member, treasurer and volunteer tutor of the Minority Legal Education Resources. My deep exploration of my culture as a student has definitely enhanced my professional experiences.  As an ASA I have met many people from different cultures and backgrounds, which has given me an opportunity to understand other cultures and share mine.
