Personal
I was born in Seoul, Korea and immigrated to the States at age 7. I can understand the struggles and sacrifices of the first generation, and identify with the unique immigrant experience. I have lived in Southern California for most of my life, but had the opportunity to teach and live in Japan for 3 years, which is where I fell in love with all things Ghibli and really good sushi. I met my husband in 2008, and along this fulfilling journey, we adopted our son from Korea, who joined our forever family in 2015. I enjoy quality time with friends and family, swing dancing, yoga/Zumba, rainy weather, taking care of our 2 dogs, and traveling.
