Fun Facts:

• In 6th grade, I joined Emily’s girls group, I was unsure and skeptical that it would be for me but immediately I loved it. 10 years later it is a space that I continue to value and grow in. This community has been invaluable. I have always been inspired by the spaces Emily and Quetzal create, and I am honored to be part of creating these spaces now as a facilitator.
  
• I love to cook with my friends and family. Throughout quarantine, my dad and I would choose a specific meal and see how good we could get at making it.
  
• I am passionate about learning more about my Korean American identity.
