Additional Information
I currently work in Seran hospital as a cardiac sonographer, usually examine patients before surgery to check whether proper heart conditions or not. I have experienced about dealing with every kind of patient who are unable to move to their arms or legs properly, or mentally unstable.
And I have experienced every kind of hospital in south korea as a part timer between changing jobs.
Through this lots of experiences, I feel limitation as a sonographer in south korea, due to too much doctor-centered circumstances compared to other countries.
I'd like to improve my career as a cardiac sonographer, and want to experience more of related my field.
I make more of self achievements, and learn new things.
I traveled the world in 2015 and 2016, most of countries in south america, and east Europe and Spain. It was astonishing experiences and changed my mind forever. I became more adventures and enjoy to meet with a new experience in my life.
Furthermore, natural curious personality made me have variable hobbies, such as jujitsu, salsa, and Krave Maga.

Interests
Jujitsu
Jujitsu is a martial arts that focuses on grappling, throws, and joint locks to subdue an opponent. It emphasizes leverage, technique, and timing to overcome strength and size differences. It helped me to improve coordination, flexibility and enhanced self-confidence.
It also teaches self-defense techniques that can help in real-life situations, but not encourage fight with others.
I feel this is kind of physical chess to predict movement of opponent. I can say it's really good for mental and physical rewarding.
