Hello! I am Inha Jun, a senior at the Academy of the Holy Angels in New Jersey. I have been playing golf ever since I was 7 years old after watching my father play golf. We would travel to play a variety of different golf courses and I was amazed by the unique swing and different strategies to approach a hole. I was influenced by the determination and positive mindset that should be present when playing this sport. The pandemic made me realize my passion and how I wanted to work hard to accomplish my big dreams of playing golf at the collegiate level. Therefore, I started playing competitive golf and it has been 3 years since the beginning when my handicap was 6.9 but now it has improved to +3.6.
Furthermore, my academic and leadership achievements include my 4.0 GPA and involvement in several clubs such as Student Council, Asian American Club, and the DECA Business Club which clearly emphasize my strong work ethic. While accomplishing my dreams of playing golf at a competitive level, I would also like to pursue a degree in finance-related areas. In doing so, I will not only be able to share my athletic talents but work hard to represent the school and accomplish my personal goals.
I am so thrilled to annnounce that I have officially committed to New York University and will be studying at the prestigious Stern School of Business to major in Finance. I believe I can be a team player as I consider myself to always put in extra time and encourage my teammates to do their best. Our previous high school season (early spring) truly captures all of this as my school won the NJ State Championship for the third year in a row and are 4-time Bergen County Champions.
My positive attitude and commitment to the game make me an accomplished candidate for any golf team which is truly evident after I was selected as Two-Time First Team All-State Team Athlete and North Jersey Player of the Year in 2024 and 2025.
I would like to thank my parents, friends, and all my coaches for the support they are providing for me.
Thank you!
