Brian
As an outspoken American, an advisor to my close friends and the only child in my immediate family, I am dedicated to overcome life’s challenges. My mother emigrated from Korea to America with absolutely nothing except the hope for a small taste of the “American Dream” and to provide a better living standard for me. She has always been an extraordinary influence in my life. In order to support her family financially, she compromised her own health and devoted every minute of her life instilling in her son good morals, strong work ethic and the desire to achieve the best that life has to offer. My mother raised me to be the determined and hardworking young adult that I am today. Her sacrifices inspired me to transform my own life to reach high aspirations and care for my loved ones.
Prior to college, I secured a full time position at a mortgage company that serviced the financing needs of the nation’s homeowners. This experience helped me discover my passion for finance and recognize my desire to succeed in this field. I developed the ability to perform exceptionally well in challenging tasks, such as finding alternative options for my client’s finances and analyzing the key risk factors of each client’s financial documents. Now I will draw upon this learning experience and motivate others to pursue an early start in their career development. I firmly believe that education is the road to success. It is an opportunity my mother had fought for. With my mother’s encouragement, which has reinforced my personal motivation, I will continue to maximize my potential as I strive to excel and explore my interests in the finance industry.
