Po's Story
Life
After high school, I got scholarships and went to UCLA for undergrad (majoring in World Arts&Cultures with concentration in Premedicine). I graduated in 1993 with Summa Cum Laude and numerous honors (Dean's honors, Phi Beta Kappa, University Honors).
For the next two years I was a social worker (out of youthful idealism) and worked with at-risk kids in the San Gabriel Valley. I ran United Way afterschool projects for teens and health advocacy and education programs for immigrants.

After graduating law school, I worked at HP as a software tester. Six months later, I was a product engineer at Epson, where I stayed for only one year before finding a more fulfilling job at Kodak.
I left Kodak 2 years later to pursue an MBA at UC Irvine. By this time I got married. My son was born after I graduated. My daughter would be born about 2 years later. Since 2006, I've worked in Irvine for Kelley Blue Book as the Director of Business Intelligence. Look me up on LinkedIn.
