Aloha,

I was born in Knoxville, Tennessee, and grew up in St.Louis, Missouri. I wanted to teach English and learn another language, so I moved to South Korea in 1996. After leaving Korea, I spent three years in Vancouver teaching ESL and running a homestay for Korean and Japanese students. Afterwards, my family and I moved back to Korea for three more years, and finally came to Hawaii in 2005.

I love spending time with my family, swimming, long walks on the beach, cooking Asian food and learning about different languages and cultures. I’m looking forward to meeting you here in beautiful Hawaii. See you soon!
