Soo Jeong Lee,
Secretary

I am honored to serve as Secretary of this wonderful group. Even though I am still adjusting myself to this country, still there are many things I need help from the others. I will do my best to do my part.

I started skiing relatively late in life, but pretty quickly it became my passion. It was February 1996 when I put on skis on my feet for the first time. I could manage to ski down the bunny slope with only one or two falls by lunch time. In 2003, I spent my vacation in Los Angeles, met my husband, volunteered at the Veterans Hospital, went to Ski Dazzle AND stopped at The Unrecables booth. I talked a lot with Karen Finfer. I carpooled with her on the March trip in 2004. It was an eye-opening & mind expanding experience. At the end of 2004, I moved from Seoul, Korea to Los Angeles, then rejoined winter trips since the 2005-06 season.

Ever since, I joined most winter trips as a volunteer, then as an instructor candidate, and as a PSIA certified instructor. I was certified level 1 mono-ski and level 1 bi-ski in March 2008. It is my fortune to have met so many amazing people t h rough The Unrecables. I may teach how to ski to others, but I always learn more from all the students and the other members.

Before I moved to the USA, I worked at a hospital as a pharmacist for 10 years. Most of the time, I worked as a Drug Information Director training other professionals and educating patients. Currently, I am working on my verbal English skills to pursue the profession.

Skiing is of course my favorite activity. I also love outdoor activities such as cycling and inline skating on the beach. I am not athletic, but I have loved playing outside ever since I was a kid. This year's my goal is learning how to swim (yes, I live by the ocean and I cannot swim yet). Then, I will be able to spend more time in/on the water.
