Here鈥檚 what you won鈥檛 find on his resume.

He always wanted to explore space.

鈥淢edicine wasn鈥檛 my first dream. When I was growing up, I thought I wanted to be an aerospace engineer or possibly an astronaut.鈥�

The big screen catches his attention.

鈥淲hen I鈥檓 not working, I鈥檓 usually watching movies or documentaries. I enjoy learning, and I love the feeling I get when I think about how other people are thinking or feeling.鈥�

He has a聽quiet side.

鈥淢ost people are surprised to learn that I鈥檓 pretty introverted and shy.鈥�

Inspiration came from his grandfather.

鈥淢y biggest role model growing up was my maternal grandfather. He was someone who I looked up to a lot. He was a radiologist, who was a pioneer in his field in the era following the Korean War. He was also someone who was very generous. My sister and I always felt a palpable love, when we were with him.鈥�

He leads his life with the golden rule.

鈥淭he best piece of advice I have ever received is to follow the golden rule of life, which is to treat others as you would like to be treated.鈥�

Connecting with others is what brought him to medicine.

鈥淚 applied to medical school because the field of medicine affords a level of human interaction and connection that is extremely special and unique. Having this privilege is very important to me.鈥�
