Understanding Health, Beyond the Science.
I'm Julie Rose Kim, a student at EF Academy Pasadena interested in the intersections of biological research, dental health, and public health.
Through independent research, student-led initiatives, and interdisciplinary exploration, I've become interested in how healthcare is shaped not only by biology, but also by the social environments and individual experiences surrounding it.
Áurea is a space to document that journey: the questions I investigate, the communities I work with, and the ideas that continue to shape my understanding of medicine.

Experience & Skills
Research & Data Analysis
My research experience spans dental health, public health, and data analysis. I have worked with Yelp dental review data and examined how community-level socioeconomic and demographic factors relate to patient experiences and dental care.
Leadership & Public Health
As the founder of the Bio Med Scholars Association, I create opportunities for students to explore medicine and public health through hands-on activities, discussions, guest speakers, and collaborative projects. I have also organized CPR education and international public-health initiatives.
Medical & Clinical Exploration
Through experiences in dental research, medical education, and USC’s Health and Healing Explorations in the History of Medicine program, I have explored medicine beyond the science, particularly the connections between healthcare, culture, communication, and the human experience.
Collaborate
Whether you're looking for a research partner, a clinical mentor, or just want to connect about biology and medical innovation, I'd love to hear from you.
