Dr. Park studied under renowned, social justice-oriented thespians like Augosto Boal and Anna Deavere-Smith. He wrote and performed his own acclaimed off-Broadway solo show 38th Parallels, which was based on interviews with his immigrant Korean parents which explored race, intergenerational trauma, and the Korean War.

Dr. Park’s interest in incorporating the lived experiences of war continued as he became a trained oral historian. From serving as the project manager of the EarSay’s Crossing the BLVD museum exhibit, which documented new immigrants and refugees in Queens, to conceiving, managing, and expanding place-based oral history projects featuring Asian American survivors of war at Wellesley College and UMD, he has considerable experiences creating interactive, trauma-informed storytelling projects that cemented partnerships with local community leaders and organizations.

As the volunteer executive director of Hyphen magazine, he created and successfully executed a new blueprint for the 2014 version of its annual fundraiser/mock beauty pageant, Mr. Hyphen (which he won in 2011 through a narrative strategy anchored around my alter ego, Magical Air Guitar Unicorn). Working with Hyphen’s business and marketing teams, he not only maintained and added corporate, civic, and community-based sponsorships, but did so by expanding the definition of “Mr.” to include male, masculine-of-center, genderqueer, and transmen. His re-imagining of Mr. Hyphen resulted in increased social media followers, website traffic, and a record-number of applicants and attendees.

Dr. Park knows how to create robust narrative and cultural strategies that centers impacted stakeholders while ensuring alignment of deep narratives, narratives, stories, and messages in a way that is values-driven, solution-focused, and joyful.
