Founder/Leader: TechBridge (2025-2026)
Tech Bridge is a club I founded to break down social barriers by helping older adults build the digital skills they need to navigate today's technology. By providing digital literacy workshops, Tech Bridge is working toward a more inclusive, connected society.
Leader: Toys For Thoughts (2024-2026)
Toys for Thoughts is a club dedicated to developing 3D-printed toys that support cognitive health. The club addresses the growing prevalence of Alzheimer's disease, a brain disorder that erodes memory and thinking ability. The Alzheimer's Association projects that 13.8 million people in the U.S. will be living with it by 2060.
Leader: Story of Haenyeo Picture Book Project (2024-2025)
Story of Haenyeo is a club dedicated to raising awareness of Jeju’s Haenyeo and preserving their cultural heritage for future generations. As a founding member, I worked as a writer and editor on a picture book about Haenyeo from 2024 to 2025.
Leader: Story of Haenyeo Mural Painting Project (2025)
The Haenyeo Mural Painting Project aims to raise awareness about Jeju's marine environment and help preserve Haenyeo culture through a mural, done in partnership with the Korea Coast Guard.
Leader: Story of Haenyeo Keychain Project (2025-2026)
Starting in October 2025, I led a six-month project turning retired Haenyeo diving suits into upcycled keychains for Spring Tidings. I got the idea after learning that roughly 1,000 Haenyeo diving suits are retired every year in Seogwipo alone.
Volunteer: Jeju Island Farming Volunteer Work (2023)
Jeju, where I live, is known for its tangerines, but every year, a huge amount goes to waste. According to Yonhap News, around 1,400 tons of tangerines are wasted annually on the island. To help address this issue, I volunteered at local farms, working alongside a team to harvest and pack tangerines, cutting down on food waste while supporting the local community.
Tangerine Tanghulu (2023)
To help cut down on tangerine waste, I organized a fundraising booth at Spring Tidings that turned leftover tangerines into tangerine tanghulu (sugar-coated fruit). Since tanghulu had become a big trend among younger people, we figured it'd be a great way to reduce food waste while raising money for the local community.
