USC Off the Beaten Path: The Search for Spirituality

I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in Mass Communications from the University of California, Los Angeles in 2002. In lieu of looking for a real job after graduation, I took a two year hiatus to go globetrotting in Europe, Asia and parts of South America.

I betrayed my Bruin roots and went over to the dark side, aka the University of Southern California, and recently graduated from the Master of Journalism program at the Annenberg School for Communication.

During the past few years, I have worked as a writer for KoreAm Journal and as an on-air reporter for TVB Pearl, the largest English-language television station in Hong Kong. After News21, I plan to pursue a career as a radio reporter.
