Featured Member of the Month

Each month, we will get a hold of a KAPS member for a short interview so that we can better get to know them. This month, we caught up with Hannah Whang.

1. Give us a 3 sentence introduction

I lived in the Northeast (Philadelphia, NJ, Boston, NYC) until I moved to SF in August of '07. I love it here! - it's beautiful, very outdoorsy, and just happy. Everyone tells me I seem so much more relaxed out here. I totally am...

2. What do you do for a living?

I'm wrapping up a 3 year stint in invesment banking and moving on to a value investing fund. I've been wanting to try my hand at investing since college so I'm looking forward to it

3. What would you like to get out of KAPS?

Just want to stay connected with other Koreans. Seems to be an underwhelming number out here in SF.

4. Obama or McCain? Why?

Clinton. Her loss hasn't sunk in yet... (for either of us, apparently!) Dont want to publish further thoughts =X (i.e. dont want to be attacked at next Kappy hour)

5. If you could quit your job right now, and do whatever you want, what would you do?

Go to culinary school! Travel the world and learn how to cook various cuisines. Love the shows Iron Chef and Top Chef. I'd also work on photography.

6. Whose going to win? Lakers or Celtics?

Went to school around Boston so definitely the Celtics! Saw them play in Boston earlier this year (against Mavericks). It was awesome. (See attached pic)

7. What's one thing that you can do that no one else in the world can do?

Claim to be featured KAPS member of the month [editor note: There is actually one other person that can claim this...] and be telling the truth! Ha, seriously, I can't think of anything. =/

8. Do you think global warming is real?

Is there anyone who doesn't? One of the first things I noticed when I moved here is how environmentally conscious SF people are. I like that it's "trendy". Trendy with purpose! If only they made sleeker looking hybrids...

9. Three things you would absolutely have to have if you were stranded on an island.

Cabernet, dark chocolate and a toothbrush... and dental floss. -- Sorry, I get nightmares about losing my teeth. (Just had one last week!)

10. Fill in the blank: Sex and the City is ____________________

Like a sedative after a long day at work. Can't wait to see the movie!
