Biography:
My name is Jean (legal name is Jin-Suk) Sharp. In 1961, I was born in the city of
Kwang-Ju, South Korea. I am the oldest of three children. Throughout grade school,
junior high, high school and college I was very involved with school art clubs and
achieved many national competition awards. Before I came to America, I earned my
bachelor degree in Fine arts. Most of my time was spent painting and sculpting and
my goal was to become a famous artist up until I met my husband, Brett. He was born
and raised in Cache Valley, Utah.
On March 3, 1984, I arrived in America and was married on St. Patrick’s Day. I have
been married for almost 20 years and have three wonderful children, ages 19, 17, and
13. My husband is a well-respected physician in Northern Utah. For many years the
focus of my life was supporting my husband through his schooling in addition to
raising my three little ones. As my children started getting older I started to
focus on my life. A little over three years ago, I met a wonderful friend who
suggested that I consider going into the field of interior design. In 2001, I
decided to enroll at Weber State University in Interior Design. Since then, I have
been very happy with that decision.
Each semester, I have managed to take 12 credit hours and have received a full-time
academic scholarship for 2003-2004. I served as Interior Design Student
Organization President for 2002-2003 and have been very involved with school
activities. Additionally, I am a student member of IIDA, ASID, and NKBA
organizations.
