I have been teaching high school English since 2003.  My parents were immigrants from South Korea who instilled within me an early love for reading and writing with weekly trips to the public library.  I graduated from UC Berkeley with an honors degree in English, and earned my master’s degree and teaching credential from UCLA.  I taught in East Los Angeles, then in Montclair, CA before relocating to the bay area and starting at Capuchino in 2016.  

I am married to a math teacher and we have two wonderful dogs.  We live in San Francisco, and when not grading or lesson planning, we spend our time enjoying Fort Funston, Golden Gate Park, and the Marin Headlands.
