Fighting To Break The Stigma of Depression with Sharon Kim

Published: Dec. 17, 2020, noon

Whether she pops up on your TikTok For You Page or on your Instagram stories, one thing's for sure: Sharon is bold, high-octane, and not afraid to express herself. Originally from Northern Virginia, Sharon is a first-generation daughter of Korean immigrants who spent her whole life refusing to fit into stereotypical boxes or expectations of others. She double-majored in Finance and Risk Management at the University of South Carolina Honors College and initially followed the conventional path that most Finance majors keep to: Corporate America. After spending 5 years following the 9-5 wave, she decided to make her own wave, leave her career at her stock brokerage, and pursue her passion for fitness and boxing full-time. Two years later, it is safe to say she has executed everything she set out to do and then some, fully establishing herself as a force to be reckoned with in the DC fitness community. Currently, she's a Rumble DC Founding Trainer, a boxer on the highly respected Headbangers Boxing Team, and running her own private training business.
