I was born in Korea then raised in Philadelphia. Despite the near-perfect All-American life, reading and writing were the activities that forgave the balancing act of being Korean and American. I attended the George Washington University where I received my BA in International Politic, and later, my MFA in Creative Writing Fiction from Emerson College. I now proudly live in NYC with my African American husband and son. As a result of my own struggles with depression, I embraced becoming a yoga instructor and yoga therapist to complement my passion for the written word.

I’m the author of a previous novel, A Shred of Hope, and I have another novel currently being published entitled The Tide Comes Around.
