Summary
I am a Korean American woman, who has a wide variety of professional and cultural experiences, having worked in tire and semiconductor companies and having studied engineering in Korean and American universities. With an extensive background in R&D, I’ve recently started a management career by becoming a director of a Korean petrochemical in the US. I believe I can bring in professional and cultural diversities into the top management, and help minority voices be heard. I’ll work hard to strengthen the SPE presence in Far East Asia and to make it a more globally inclusive community.
Additional Information
I joined SPE early this year and would like to have an opportunity to contribute to the success of the SPE organization and help develop strategies for expanding SPE communities.
