Kim Dyer

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.

• I have two birthdays: one by lunar calendar (official birthday) and the real birthday (the day I was born)
• Love puzzling -- have done many 1000 pieces and did one 2000 pieces last year. Would love to try 3000 pieces someday
• I love to travel, play Ping-Pong, watch movies, and puzzles
• If you are a fan of K-Pop, K-Drama, and K-culture, we can talk about it all day long.
• I have two official elementary teaching licenses from two countries (Korea and USA).
