So Young has an interesting background for an equine veterinarian, growing up in the metropolitan of Seoul, Korea! She travelled hours to see horses and cows in the countryside since childhood (sometimes even on her own!) and naturally drawn to study veterinary medicine. After graduating vet school, she moved to the States where she pursued a PhD degree conducting projects on equine colic and endotoxemia. She had clinical trainings including an internship at Alamo Pintado Equine Medical Center, CA, and a large animal internal medicine residency at Washington State University Veterinary Teaching Hospital, WA. She is an American diplomate holder for veterinary internal medicine, emphasis on equine internal medicine with personal interests in gastrointestinal disease, neonatology, and ocular diseases to just name a few.

In addition to consulting challenging cases in clinical practice, she has various interests in the field of veterinary medicine including education, research, and collaboration with the local and international equine community.
