Hi, I’m Sharon Kim, a psychology student based in Irvine, California, studying at UCLA. I’m drawn to mental health research, community outreach, and turning complex data into clear, actionable insights. I’ve supported carceral ecology research, led outreach initiatives, and tutored students as a freelance English tutor. Beyond academics, I collaborate across teams to plan events, document processes, and manage projects—from wellness summits to art commissions. I’m excited to apply my interdisciplinary skills to civic issues and help organizations tell meaningful stories that drive impact.
