How are you connected to Camp Mujigae?
As a former camper, it is an amazing feeling to now be bringing my own children to Camp MJG. I have lifelong friendships that were made at camp and the shared experiences have shaped my identity and perception. Camp MJG was vital in teaching Korean Culture to adoptees and created a network of friends in which we felt like the majority (at least for a few days a year). The unspoken bond of being adopted and Korean showed us that we had more similarities than differences.
Why would you like to serve as a Board of Director?
I have been involved with camp since the late 80s, as a camper, CIT, counselor, and have been serving on the planning committee and as a current board of directors member. Camp meant a lot to me growing up and I want to continue to pay it forward for the next generation of adoptive families.
What skills/experience do you have that would contribute to managing a thriving and successful organization?
I have been volunteering at a high level to assist with the planning and operations of camp for over a decade. I have done a little of everything and have stepped in multiple roles when needed.
