Sang-Hee Min

Biography

When she was young, Sang-Hee Min wanted to be a nurse, policewoman, painter, pianist, scientist, and mom – all at once. Today, she has narrowed her interests to neuroscience, developmental psychology, and music. As far-ranging as they may sound, all three are ways Sang-Hee feels she can help others. “I hope to give back a mere portion of what I have been blessed to receive,” she says.

As a Young Scholar, Sang-Hee has explored her academic interests through summer enrichment programs like a logic course she describes as, “nothing short of a taste of heaven” and cultivated her talents as a pianist through private lessons. “My life could never be the same without music, and without these musical opportunities, I would not have been able to mature as a pianist, a musician, and an individual to the extent that I have.”

Sang-Hee is already giving back to her community. She coaches her school’s eighth grade Math Olympiad team and teaches piano. She also volunteers as a teacher’s assistant at a Montessori school, and has served as an intern at the Institute of Learning and Brain Sciences at the University of Washington. Through such experiences, she has been able to pursue one of her goals: to research the effects of music on cognitive development. “I know who I am now and I am enjoying the process of discovering who I want to become in the future.”
