Hi, I'm Seonho.
Curious researcher, careful builder, friendly tutor.
Hi, I'm Seonho. I'm a high school sophomore in La Crescenta who loves the slow, careful work of research and the quick joy of helping someone finally understand something hard.

A little more about who I am
I grew up between two languages, two cultures, and a lot of curiosity. I'm at my happiest when I'm learning something hands-on — pipetting in a lab, walking a tutee through a tricky physics problem, or sketching a study protocol on the back of a notebook.

What I'm doing right now
Leading a 3-person research team building a medication adherence app, running biotech experiments in a supervised lab, and helping youth-led nonprofits raise funds for mental health and self-defense outreach.
What I care about
Pediatric healthcare, honest data, communities that look out for each other, and the quiet patience it takes to do small things really well.
Outside of school
You'll catch me tutoring younger students, prepping for science fair, learning ASL, or rewatching the same comfort show for the fifth time. (Tell us your hobbies, music, books, the works.)
If we worked together
You'd find me organized, curious, and genuinely interested in the people I'm working with. I'm always looking for mentors, collaborators, and people who'll let me ask a lot of questions.
Things I've built and led
Three websites and one healthcare app — small attempts at turning research, fundraising, or storytelling into something that helps real people.
