Live to Serve. Love to Serve.

My name is Seinna Lee, and I am a second generation Korean-American. I was born in Richmond, Virginia on July 8th, 1993. I have two siblings, Hanna and David, who are nine years older than me. Currently, I am a sophomore studying biology at Virginia Tech. I plan on using this degree to further help others through a career in the health field. In addition to Circle K International, I am in the co-ed fraternity, Alpha Epsilon Delta. I enjoy cooking, baking, and snowboarding. Being a Hokie has been a once in a lifetime experience! I am so grateful for its wonderful opportunities!
