Hi! My name is Grace Davis and I recently graduated from Iowa State University with a degree in Marketing and International Business.

I’ve been accepted into the KUBS CEMS Global MIM program at Korea University, where I’ll earn a Master’s in Management and a CEMS Certificate in International Management. I'll also have the opportunity to study in Hong Kong at HKUST as part of the program!

As a half-Korean student who studied abroad at Hanyang University in 2023, I’ve felt a deep pull back to South Korea — not just culturally, but professionally.

My dream is to build a career in Asia, ideally in Korea, working in marketing, communications, or brand strategy within fast-paced industries like entertainment, beauty, or sports. I want to help brands connect across cultures and bridge East and West through meaningful strategy.

This program is a perfect next step — offering global business education, cross-cultural collaboration, and a chance to reconnect with my Korean roots. But as much as I want to attend, I’m not sure I can afford it on my own.

With your support, I could use these funds to help cover tuition and housing while I study and work toward this dream. Every little bit helps — even if you’re just here to read and share, thank you so much for being part of my journey!

With gratitude,

Grace
