A storyteller at heart, she loves wielding the English language to articulate the world around her and sees beauty in written words like astrophysicists see beauty in cosmic bodies. When she’s not writing articles, you’ll find her watching the latest K-dramas, hosting campus events, or trying to find study spots with the best views.
