Jae's academic journey began at the University of California, Irvine, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Public Health, earning the prestigious distinction of membership in Phi Beta Kappa.

This hands-on medical experience has given him a deep appreciation for the intricate connections between physical and mental health, further informing his holistic approach to patient care.

When not dedicated to improving the lives of his patients, Jae finds balance through his love for outdoor activities and playing the guitar. These personal interests not only provide him with a well-rounded perspective but also demonstrate his belief in the importance of pursuing passions and maintaining a healthy work-life balance - principles he likely encourages in his patients as well.
