About me

Welcome!

Thank you for stopping by. I would like to start by acknowledging how grateful I am to be here on the ancestral lands of the Lheidli T’enneh, where I am fortunate enough to work, play and raise my three beautiful children.

I’ll start off by giving you a little glimpse into my life. I was born is Seoul Korea and adopted into my loving family at 6 months old. Prince George is not only where I grew up, but where my husband and I are fortunate enough to raise our three energetic kiddos (plus a furry and naughty dog named Ellie). My childhood was filled with bike rides, tree forts, volleyball lessons and trips to the beloved “happiest place on earth”, Disneyland! I was raised by two loving and hardworking parents, one of which was a Kindergarten teacher for many, many years (this should have been my first hint).

Now, my days are filled with creating my own family memories, such as camping, skiing, bike riding and yes, the occasional trip to Disneyland;)

To be brutally honest, when I was younger I never really had a desire to teach. I think on some level, embarrassingly enough, I thought my future consisted of power suits, working downtown New York for some fancy fashion magazine. Clearly that was not in the cards for me, which looking back, I am extremely thankful for.

The moment I became a mother everything shifted; my world views, values and priorities. I’d like to think that my three children are the answer to the question, “why teaching now”?  Watching their school experience thus far ignited a spark that led me to the teaching program at UNBC. I have discovered an innate desire to help connect and shape the young minds of today. To me teaching is an art form, a practice that is never perfect, thank goodness!

I am most looking forward to creating a classroom where my students feel safe, accepted, valued and cared for. I believe learning is fluid and I can’t wait to cultivate a learning environment that is accessible, creative and collaborative. I am so grateful to start this journey, and soak in as much as possible from my UNBC professors, fellow classmates and one day…future students!
