Favorite Verse: “Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world” (James 1:27).
A few years after earning her Doctorate in music from USC, Sun left the music field to pursue a career in the visual effects industry. After taking some time off from working to devote herself fully to being a mother, she has returned to her first love, music. These days, Sun divides her time between being a musician, a mother, wife, volunteering at her daughter’s elementary school, and working for her husband’s company. Her hobbies include cooking, baking, and doing arts and crafts projects with her daughter.
Favorite Verse: “Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind let each of you regard one another as more important than oneself; Do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others” (Philippians 2:3,4).
