Yujin Oh
Coordinator, Capital Fellows Program
Yujin coordinates most of the day-to-day aspects and relationships for the Capital Fellows Program. As a recent alumna of the University of Virginia and the Trinity Fellows Program in Charlottesville, Yujin is excited to be back home in Northern Virginia with hopes to serve recent college graduates through the local church. She seeks to find joy in the details of integrating Capital Fellows into life at McLean Presbyterian Church and the greater D.C. community.
