Biography
Before Destiny
Park has both surviving parents and at least two brothers. When she was thirteen years old, she experienced at least one earthquake. In this incident, she cut both her feet from broken glass, and has never liked experiencing earthquakes since that time. At some point in her life, she had a boyfriend, Gary, while she was working in the Stargate program. Though the relationship had difficulties, she believed that they had set aside their differences and their relationship was going well. (SGU: "Darkness", "Not Just For Posterity")
2009
In 2009, she was was stationed at Icarus Base. She and roughly 80 people were forced to evacuate Icarus Base during an attack against the base by three Ha'tak vessels. She ended up on the Destiny, an Ancient spaceship located several billion light years from Earth. One of her first duties on the ship was to help Nicholas Rush repair the failing life support system. She worked alongside Adam Brody. (SGU: "Air, Part 1", "Air, Part 2")
Park leaves a Kino message.
After her arrival on Destiny, she worked on studying the ship's systems until they were ordered to halt as the ship was low on power. She was part of a group that cornered Eli on the observation about being kept of the loop when the ship lost power. She was on the observation deck when Destiny passed Big Bertha. Her name was among the 15 picked in a lottery to evacuate the ship when it was on a collision course with the star. Fortunately, the ship was only refueling and the shuttle returned. Park later participated in a group to repair some of the worn out Ancient environmental suits. (SGU: "Darkness", "Light")
She and the team were able to repair two by the time Destiny was within range of "Hoth", a toxic ice planet capable of replenishing the ship's water supply. After Hunter Riley was seriously injured in an accident on the ship, she attempted to console Brody, who blamed Colonel Telford's command for the injury.(SGU: "Water", "All Telford's Fault")
Due to the stresses of her new life on board the ship, she used sex as a means of relieving it. She was able to have such encounters with Rivers, Ronald Greer, Marsden, and Dunning. In one instance, she inadvertently had the encounter recorded on a Kino whilst she recorded a message to Gary and her family. (SGU: "Life", "Not Just For Posterity")
She was a member of the off-world team sent to the jungle planet in search of food. She was one of the first killed by the squigglers. In an alternate timeline, the team came to the planet and found a Kino sent back in time by Scott. As people got sick from the poisoned water supply, she assisted TJ in caring for those afflicted. A third alternate timelie created by Scott gave everyone the cure. (SGU: "Time")
Some time later, she was in Control interface room when Dr. Nicholas Rush discovered something interesting in the Destiny database. (SGU: "Life") When Greer found Spencer dead in his quarters, she became one of the suspects. However, she was playing cards with Eli, Brody, Scott and Lt. James at the time of Spencer's death, so she had an alibi. She sat in the trial of Everett Young. (SGU: "Justice")
A few weeks later she was in the hydroponics lab with Volker, Brody and some other civilians. She was there and debated whether it was time for them to take control of the ship. She was there when an alien mother ship attacked Destiny. During the battle, she left the observation deck with a second civilian, and during the battle, she was in the medical center helping TJ take care of the injured. After the battle, she was in the control room with ornamental grasses and Brody and Rush helped to repair the damage. (SGU: "Space")
The day after the attack on Destiny she was with the civilians when they mutinied against the military personnel on board. She was with the civilians that encountered and imprisoned Dunning and Tamara Johansen. She was then in the fair with the rest of the civil and discussed. And after that Destiny fled from the three alien mother ship, she was present when Young ordered the civilians back to their quarters. (SGU: "Divided")
A few weeks later, she helped Brody partially repair the damaged shuttle. (SGU: "Faith")
During the Lucian Alliance invasion of Destiny, she worked with Rush, Brody, and Volker to figure out the cause of the power failure. Later, she was sent to an Unnamed planet with the rest of the expedition. (SGU, "Incursion, Part 1", "Incursion, Part 2", "Intervention")
Shortly after her return to Destiny, she was part of a team that was sent to an unnamed planet in the Ancient shuttle to replenish the food and water supply. During reentry the shuttle lost power and crashed on the planet. After Scott and the rest of the team unburied the Stargate, she returned to Destiny. (SGU: "Aftermath")
When the expedition travelled to a damaged and abandoned future version of Destiny to salvage components from the future ship to repair their version, Park spent her time on board working with the two versions of Doctor Rush- Rush having been the sole survivor of the future ship-, noting that the experience of working alongside themselves must be strange for the two men, although the Rushes commented that they weren't really thinking about it. (SGU: "Twin Destinies")

Dr. Park still suffering from blindness
Park volunteered to remain aboard Destiny while it executed a dangerous refueling operation inside a Blue supergiant. Her goal was to salvage medicinal plants for Lt. Tamara Johansen as the plants in the garden would immolate due to the star's intense heat. She was sealed in by the ships computer and was forced to immerse herself in the dome's collecting pool. When the dome breached she retained half of the plants she collected but lost her eyesight as a result of the accident. Dr. Nicholas Rush hoped it was flash blindness and would be temporary. The status of her sight is unknown. (SGU: "Blockade")
