Bio

I was born in South Korea, raised in New Orleans, and grew up in SoCal. I earned both a bachelors in Pure Mathematics and master's in Education from UCLA. 
 
I have been in the classroom for 14 years now, 11 of which I spent as a teacher leader (mentor teacher, department chair, course team lead, math coach). I have also been working with UCLA in creating and facilitating professional development and with CSULB as a university supervisor.
 
My favorite part of being an educator is supporting teachers. Teaching is life-changing for you and for your students. But teaching is also really hard, so it should not be done in isolation. Throughout my career, I have acquired skills specifically in supporting teachers, and I look forward to being able to support this team in every way that I can.
