Description
Soo Choi, a life-long La Cañada resident and advocate for education and Korean-American community engagement, talks with Virtual History intern Matthew Yoshida. She describes what it was like growing up in La Cañada and the changes that have taken place in the education system over the years. Choi recalls what it was like to pursue her interest in architecture, and then eventually working as a banker. She discusses how she has organized local non-profit fundraisers such as the Great Chocolate Race for Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, been a member of the Flintridge Guild of Children's Hospital Los Angeles, and served as a director of the La Cañada Educational Foundation.
