About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

**Please Note: I DO NOT respond to meeting requests from men while I am travelling. Single men - please do not bother me.**

I am of Korean origin and raised in the U.S., moving quite frequently, and have had long-term stints in Vietnam, China, Senegal, and Korea. Moving has made me quite adaptable, empathetic, and able to easily move between worlds. I have a French husband and two global children. I am a sociologist by nature and training and am truly interested in understanding the social world we live in.

PHILOSOPHY

Follow one's vision to make a difference - even when this is hard, as it often is.
