Previously, Min has worked for an online publication focusing on education. She covered articles about balancing academics and athletics as a college athlete and joining business clubs. Drawing from her experiences during college participating in extracurricular activities and being a college athlete, Min was able to channel these experiences through her writing where she hopes to provide helpful information to students.
