AAPI Month: Lovie Jung

5 hours ago
During the month of May, we celebrate the history and culture of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders who have contributed to America’s history and success. During the final week of AAPI month, we honor Lovieanne (Lovie) Jung, a native of Hawaii, who left her mark on the softball world through her outstanding performances both offensively and defensively, which has earned her a myriad of accolades and awards throughout her career. A two-time Olympic medalist, Jung was a multi-faceted player and a force to be reckoned with.
Jung was born in Honolulu, Hawaii in 1980 and moved to Southern California at a young age. Jung’s family was poor, and she and her parents moved in with an aunt in Santa Ana, CA. (Barney, 2021). Jung’s parents, William and Gloria, quickly found jobs and were able to move out of the aunt’s house and buy an apartment for the family (Barney, 2021).
