Hi fellow Steemians,
I'm Madison and this is my first #introduceyourself post on Steemit!
How did I get here? Shoutout to @aletna who first introduced me to this amazing platform! I am super excited to start my journey as an official Steemian and am looking forward to connecting with you guys!
Historical moment:
I am a 19-year-old girl from South Korea and am an upcoming freshman at Minerva Schools at KGI (https://www.minerva.kgi.edu/). Throughout my four years at Minerva, I will be studying in seven different cities around the world: San Francisco, Seoul, Hyderabad, Berlin, Buenos Aires, Taipei, and London.
So far, I spent my entire life in South Korea until this Summer, and I just started a brand new chapter of my life in America! I am looking forward to the exciting adventure ahead of me, and I cannot wait to learn and grow more as a person.
I'm genuinely passionate about entrepreneurship, blockchain tech, renewable energy engineering and music production.
My journey as an "entrepreneur" started in 2003 when I first started a cookie business in my town. I expanded that cookie business until I entered middle school, making enough profit that could cover the entire elementary school fees and school supply cost. As I became older, I have been building a massive interest in social media marketing which led me to participate in many different business marketing conferences (HubSpot INBOUND15/16, The Fast Company Innovation Festival, Social Innovation Summit...etc) as the youngest participant for the past few years.
To expand my experience, I joined JÜV Consulting (https://www.juvconsulting.com) as a technology and academics consultant. Working as a Gen Z consultant, I found it very interesting to understand and analyze our very interesting new generation, Generation Z.
On top of that, I am currently working on a new graphic artwork company called Avoplanet (http://avoplanet.com) with my amazing co-founder. I am also in the process of developing a new idea that strongly utilizes blockchain technology to combine the unlimited potential of cryptocurrency, social media and entertainment industries. Stay tuned!
I also found my interest in STEM as I learned more about advanced maths and different science topics. In my high school freshman year, as a passionate Maths and Physics student, I founded a non-profit organization "Pink Binder" that empowers young girls to join the STEM pipeline and pursue their genuine passion in STEM field. And this year, as a young official member of the New York Academy of Sciences (https://www.nyas.org), I was lucky enough to present my solar energy engineering project (Volta Paint) in front of nine Nobel laureates and am planning to start a new space engineering project that combines solar energy technology next year.
In terms of my involvement in a music industry, I recorded songs for Korean national official Music textbook for elementary and middle school when I was 12. Furthermore, I've been composing and producing music ever since I could remember, and am currently making new music with an artist name Silver Kukus with my wickedly talented music partner.
We produced a remix cover song of "Despacito ft.Justin Bieber" and collaborated with a Youtube musician "Future Sunsets" and the video has reached 100K within 5 days. You can check out the video below.
Also, our Trey Songz "Nobody Else But You" was selected as a no.1 trending remix track on Wavo remix competition and it ranked in the TOP10 list on the Trey Songz remix contest.
We are planning to release our debut EP tracks by the end of July, so stay tuned and keep your eyes on our official facebook page!

Oh and I'm also a Taekwondo enthusiast, currently Black belt 3rd degree. I'm taking my 4th degree test next year in Seoul!
Thanks so much for reading my long intro post and hope to connect with all of you guys!
Much Love,
Madison :)
