About John Kim    

CitizenPowered.org member since Mon 12-03-2007

I'm a connector. I like finding commonalities between disparate groups and then finding ways to create a synergistic relationship between them. I like creating when there is opportunity and need to create. I have a master's in public policy (basically econometrics, stats, policy analysis). I speak English great, Arabic pretty well and Korean well. I like all sorts of music especially anything live - where you can listen to and appreciate the creation and performance.

School(s) Attended     

Cornell University (NY) Georgetown University (DC)

Place(s) Worked

Capital Area Food Bank America's Second Harvest (Indpt Consultant) United Nation's World Food Program (Malawi) Peace Corps (Morocco) Lipman Hearne (Chicago)

Personal Statement

Live what you preach. Live your ideals. Pursue happiness. Be kind to everyone. Take the high road. Stay engaged. Know what's happening in the 'world' section AND the 'local' section. Turn off the lights when not in use. Ride a bike. Stay curious. Be restless. Accept opportunities. Embrace failure.
