Previously she has worked as a corporate partnership director of hospitality projects for the 2018 PyeongChang Olympic and as an assistant producer of art & culture program at Arirang. Her presence as a global ambassador has been recognized by government institutions and luxury brands, many of which she continues to work closely with to engage organic narratives and foster a vibrant bridge. 


Her academic background of a BA in Art History combined with her love for art as a collector, creator and curator, Su aims to channel her engagement in the art world as a guiding voice to the emerging generation and to contribute in building new environments to heal and inspire people through art.
