Dr. Mona Chung started her professional life in entertainment working with memorable characters before she decided to pursue a more holistic endeavour and found occupational therapy. Dr. Chung’s time with the faculty, staff, and her classmates at USC have made her a proud trojan and reinforced her passion to help people “live their best life.” Dr. Chung has been working in outpatient hand therapy in clinics throughout Los Angeles since graduation and has found her forever home working with veterans at the Long Beach VHA.

Dr. Chung loves to travel and is working towards ticking off items on her bucket list like hiking fjords, seeing the northern lights, and singing her heart out on a “Sound of Music” tour in Salzberg. During the pandemic, Dr. Chung discovered BTS and now considers herself “crazy aunty” status. #BTSARMY #borahae
