I believe everyone has a story to tell. I am a professional writer and editor and work in public radio. I became a journalist to be a voice for others when they have none, to tell the stories worth telling and to share valuable information that needs to be shared.

I have experience in many aspects of the journalism field, including writing, research, editing, photography, public relations and social media.

I studied journalism at Arizona State University's Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication.

I was born in South Korea to humanitarian parents who always taught me the value of helping others. Having the privilege to grow up in Asia and travel as a child instilled within me an early passion for world issues and cultural exploration.

I have lived in Arizona for 20 years and moved to Phoenix five years ago. I am a humanitarian, Earth advocate and animal lover.
