Background
I was born in Korea and I came to the United States as a teenager. After attending high school in Northern Virginia, I came out to the West Coast and attended Stanford University graduating with a B.S. degree in Biology. I received my Medical Degree at Rush Medical College in Chicago in 1985. I then did my Neurology Residency Program at Boston University.
I first joined Kaiser Permanente in 1990 and worked at Santa Teresa Medical Center for 10 years. In 2000, I moved back to the East Coast, following my husband’s change in work and was in community practice. After a couple of years and missing Kaiser Permanente very much, I decided to come back in 2002. I have been at Kaiser Permanente in Santa Clara ever since.
I consider myself extremely fortunate in having a wonderful career and family. After many years, I continue to love being a neurologist, finding it both very interesting and fulfilling.
