Golf, Hiking and Oil-Painting

Golf, Hiking and Oil-Painting

I was born and raised in S Korea. In 2000 while I was in Doctorate program in Management (sub major : Management Information System) in Kyungpook National University in Daegu, I was selected to become an exchange student to University of Hawaii at Manoa in Hawaii and came to Hawaii with my daughter at that time 8 years old (currently a Medical Doctor in NY). After 1 year of the program, I finished the required courses of the Doctorate program but not yet finished my dissertation when I was hired by a law firm specialized in Immigration and Personal Injury as an office manager and legal assistant in downtown Honolulu in Hawaii, where I worked 4 years 9 months.  I married my current husband, Richard Seaquist, a retired US Marine, combat-veteran in 2006.  I have been managing my own business in Honolulu for 17 years and worked as a realtor for 9 years from 2013 to 2022. I love playing golf at various golf courses challenging myself with walking 18 holes most of the time. Regular hiking on Saturdays is one of my regiment activities that has been strengthening me mentally and physically. I love art and have participated in multiple art exhibitions locally and internationally.  Visited Tanzania(2006, 2013) and Nepal(2003, 2018), and Kazakhstan(2015) to meet the people and children I have been sponsoring in person and to encourage them and to share love and humanism.
