Hyewon’s Advising Philosophy:
I am here to listen to your story and empathize with you when life presents its challenges. I am committed to not accepting a “no” from anyone when my students need my support and advocacy. Additionally, I can assist you with finding scholarships, navigating the UW Tuition consortium, accessing pre-health advising, conducting an industry job search, and offering guidance with both your academic and personal life.
There are three things you should know to understand me:
