Finding value where others stop looking.

I’m Juhee “Grace” Kim, a Statistics and Philosophy student at Duke University interested in investing, human connection, and the stories behind numbers. Whether I’m analyzing an overlooked business or helping someone find confidence in their voice, I’m drawn to discovering possibility that others may have missed.

My Story

Losing my voice taught me how to use it.

I grew up making music - violin, piano, guitar, singing in church. Music gave me discipline. But on a mission trip, I lost my voice, and that taught me something discipline never could: a voice matters because of how you use it, and who you use it for.

I am the daughter of Korean immigrant pastors. My parents came to the United States without speaking English, and they taught me that achievement only means something when it makes room for other people to grow.

For a long time I felt like a B-flat sitting next to a perfect C - close, but not quite. I do not see it that way anymore. B-flat was never a failed C. It is the note that makes the harmony work.

“A voice matters because of how you use it.”

Across Borders

Four countries, one lesson: listen first.

After leading worship for a local community, I physically lost my voice for three days. The silence helped me notice people whose struggles had left them unheard long before I lost mine. Teaching mathematics to a twelve-year-old girl who wanted to attend school changed how I understood the purpose of my own voice.

Back again, summer 2023.

I entered these experiences expecting to serve. I left understanding that listening is itself a form of service.

Investing

What is something truly worth?

Give me five minutes in a room, and I can estimate the value of nearly everything in it.

My instinct is to turn objects into numbers. I learned this from immigrant parents who arrived with little and needed to understand the worth of every purchase. But they also made their largest investment long before it produced a visible return: they invested in me.

At Arkhouse, a real estate hedge fund, I applied that instinct while analyzing public companies, REITs, and privatization opportunities. I became fascinated by situations in which market prices appeared to overlook the value of underlying assets.

As the only woman on my investment team, I initially held back questions that I feared might sound uninformed. I eventually discovered that the questions I hesitated to ask often produced the most valuable conversations. Curiosity took me further than certainty.

Look Beneath the Price

A market price is an answer. I want to understand the assumptions behind it.

Question the Consensus

The most interesting opportunities often begin with a thoughtful disagreement.

Stay Curious

A strong question can create more value than borrowed certainty.

Leadership

Building the communities I once needed.

Leadership has rarely meant speaking the loudest. To me, it means noticing who has not yet spoken and making it easier for them to enter the conversation.

Scale & Coin

New Member Education Chair

Scale & Coin first represented rejection, then belonging, and finally responsibility. After completing its intensive new-member process, I became New Member Education Chair for a class of twenty students. I now help others navigate the uncertainty I once experienced and create a culture where asking questions is viewed as a strength.

High School

Student Body President

Five years had passed since a girl last held my high school’s presidency. I entered the position determined to make leadership collaborative, working with a five-person cabinet and helping students feel represented rather than simply spoken for.

Pep Rally

MC

Being an MC taught me another form of leadership: reading a room, creating energy, and helping people feel that they are part of something larger than themselves.

For Her Flow

Co-founder

After witnessing the indignity of period poverty, I helped begin an initiative that organized menstrual-product drives and encouraged open conversations about an issue often hidden by embarrassment and silence.

Lacrosse

Lacrosse taught me to contribute without always directing the play. Trust, persistence, and knowing when to pass are as important on a team as individual performance.

Beyond the Résumé

What keeps me curious.

Jazz

I love jazz because it balances structure with improvisation. A musician must listen closely, respond to what others are creating, and become comfortable moving without knowing exactly where the song will end.

Card Games

I love card games because every hand presents a decision under uncertainty. Probability matters, but so do patience, psychology, and knowing when the information in front of you is incomplete.

Horror Movies

Horror movies fascinate me because they reveal how people behave when ordinary rules collapse. I’m drawn to suspense, imperfect decisions, and the strange creativity required to make fear feel believable.

Duke

I love Duke, and tenting in K-Ville is a big reason why. Weeks of cold nights outside Cameron for basketball tickets, and I would do it again in a heartbeat.

An ideal evening: a jazz record playing, a competitive deck of cards on the table, and a horror movie waiting for afterward.

Current Questions

Questions I’m still chasing.

How can investors recognize value before it becomes obvious?

How do statistics help us act when certainty is impossible?

How can ambition remain grounded in contentment and service?

When should we trust the numbers, and when should we question what they leave out?

Say hello.

My experiences have taught me to pay attention—to an undervalued company, an unanswered question, or a person whose voice has been overlooked. I do not always know where that attention will lead, but curiosity has consistently taken me further than certainty.
