Hello, I'm so excited to be a part of the first grade team at ICSAtlanta! I was born in Seoul, Korea, and I grew up in Chile and California. I graduated from the University of California at Berkeley, and I am currently working on my Master's degree in Elementary Education at Augusta University. I've had the privilege of teaching early childhood for the past 17 years. This is my third year teaching at ICSAtlanta. I love the diversity of our student community and all the languages spoken on campus. I also speak three languages: Korean, Spanish and English.

I feel blessed to be part of each student's journey to become lifelong passionate learners and citizens of the world.

When I am not teaching, I love to read, hike, watch movies, and spend time with my family. I live in the North Fulton area with my husband and our yorkiepoo. I am also a proud parent of a daughter at UGA and a son at Johns Hopkins University.
