"Studying Korean at KU provided me with many opportunities for academic and personal growth. The EALC department, as well as affiliated faculty, provided continual support and encouragement, providing a firm foundation for my aspirations to pursue graduate study. As a non-traditional student, I completed three undergraduate research projects, including an honors thesis, presented at numerous undergraduate symposia and conferences, and was fortunate to receive funding to support my travel and studies. I graduated from Harvard's Regional Studies, East Asia master's program in May 2016 and am currently pursuing my second master's degree in anthropology at Seoul National University as a Korean Government Scholar. Currently, I am conducting comparative research in Seoul and Hanoi that deals with low-fertility and women's work. I will be working in Hanoi at Vietnam National Institute for Culture and Arts (VICAS) as a visiting researcher beginning April 2018 and expect to submit my thesis and complete my program at SNU in 2019. I hope my story will help inspire students in the department and give them some ideas about what is possible after graduation."
