Career In the 1990s, Choi found Thomas Noguchi's memoir in the $1 bin at the Strand Bookstore in New York City. She bought it because it was unusual to see popular books by Asian American writers at that time, except for Amy Tan.

Decades later, the book was still in her house. During COVID-19 pandemic she had enough time to write and publish "The Japanese American Citizens League, Los Angeles Politics, and the Thomas Noguchi Case." The article went on to win the Francis M. Wheat Award for historical research in Southern California and became the foundation for a biography.
