Name: Meehyun Lee aka Jackie Kling

Where are you from: Born in Jinju, South Korea, raised in Lake Harmony PA USA. I moved to South Korea in 2015 to pursue the PyeongChang 2018 Winter Olympics held in South Korea, my birth country. I was awarded 13th place with many injuries and concussions on the road to the Olympics. I traveled the world to famous mountains for competitions. After the Olympics in 2018, in 2019, I moved to Oxford, UK for the summer, and then to Indonesia. I have finally settled in Salt Lake City in November 2019 and have resided here since. 

Sport of choice: Slopestyle skiing aka Freestyle skiing. It's also called Park Skiing. 

Interesting fact about yourself: In the game of darts, I threw a 180 points ( Ton80 ) which is the highest-scoring point earned in a single turn during a match of 501. 

What inspired you to partner with Save A Brain?: Just like many others, I have experienced concussions during sport. I am currently going through long term symptoms and in the process of cognitive evaluations and other psychological evaluations. I believe Save A Brain can share my story and experiences with TBI's and the lingering symptoms that come afterward. I am confident that Save A Brain can help not only me but others to become aware of TBI's and the symptoms that occur during and after a head injury.
