Hi! I’m Jeongmin.

I study Public Policy & how to manage government administration
to find answers to the following questions:

  1. How can we harness technological innovation to translate support for tangible improvements in people’s lives into real-world action?
  2. How can we eliminate psychological and administrative barriers to accessing public services for individuals in need of public assistance?
  3. How can we assist economically disadvantaged individuals who have regained hope and are trying to rehabilitate, to prevent them from experiencing setbacks that might cause them to lose hope permanently?
  4. How can we foster work environments that ensure government employees sustain their dedication to public service, free from feelings of overwhelm or frustration, all while aiming for policy success?
