I was born and raised in Seoul, S. Korea. My family and I moved to Colorado Springs a little over 2 years ago from Oregon where I was a full-time professor in a Liberal Arts college for about 15 years. Before that, I was an elementary school teacher in South Korea for about 9 years and came to the U.S. to complete my Masters and Doctoral Degree.

I currently teach Korean language class at UCCS.
