Hayden Namkung

Digital Communications Coordinator

Hayden was born and raised in California. Soon after graduating university, they moved to South Korea, where they worked in education, gaming, and tech, and spent their free time organizing LGBTQ+ inclusive spaces. During their time in South Korea, they found a passion for digital advocacy work and social change so they moved to Atlanta to pursue their MA in social work at the University of Georgia.

The reality that they never grew up with the needed resources and support as a young Queer Korean-American is what motivates them to make sure that their communities do have the resources to embrace and explore the complexities of their identities.

During their free time, Hayden enjoys traveling, cooking for people they love, crafting accessories, and hanging with their pets.
