🌍World

I wander the world, not as a tourist, but as an observer. Every journey is a chance to uncover the unspoken stories of people and places. I immerse myself in local cultures through hidden restaurants and cafés, savoring the rhythm of everyday life. My journeys have taken me to Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, Mongolia, Germany, Belgium, the UK, Spain, France, Italy, Mexico, and the USA. My travels inspire me to see the world as a vast, interconnected puzzle. Where to next?

🙋🏻‍♀️Myself

Mindfulness keeps me grounded in a fast-moving world. My mornings start with a hot cup of tea and a carefully curated to-do list—a ritual that blends clarity with intention. I find energy in movement, from contemporary dance to climbing, weight training to yoga. And when the day winds down, I turn to writing, capturing insights and fleeting thoughts—perhaps for a future book. Watch out for “Jiyae Choi” on the shelves someday.

👥People

I thrive in diverse, cross-disciplinary collaborations, constantly learning from those around me. Currently as a Program Director at the Korean Graduate Student Association at UW and a Campus Leader for ADPList, I lead students in fostering social and professional connections. I love bringing people together, bridging perspectives, and sparking new ideas. Let’s connect! I’d love to hear your story too.
