CURRENT MISSION

To be happy

ABOUT ME

I was born and raised in Dallas, but my parents are from South Korea. I currently live in Seoul, South Korea. I originally came here about 12 years ago to check out my roots, but I have been able to develop a wonderful career and very lucky to be able to pay rent doing what I love, which is acting and voice work. :D Since I am a freelancer, I am able to be flexible with my travel plans or with projects. I do a lot of non-profit work for women's issues, human rights issues and any issues my friends are into which are animal rights and breast cancer awareness.

Hmm...to describe myself...should I start off with "3 words that would describe me"? Passionate, Caring, and Fun. Many also describe me as "sassy", but I also mirror the people I'm with, so if you want to see the fun attitude...bring it! I would have to say what I enjoy most in life is good banter and a great conversation to learn and to share. I'm also a very good listener and give good advice. But I need to warn you...if you ever ask advice from me, I'm very honest...maybe too honest so if you don't want to hear the truth, then don't ask! :P

Qualities I expect from other people (therefore I try to hold myself to) are: Someone that's considerate (respectful and don't take anyone/anything for granted), don't take themselves too seriously and is just ...happy! I think we shouldn't bog ourselves down with stress and try to enjoy life to the fullest without hurting anyone.

Honestly, I love my life. I count my blessings EVERY DAY because I know I am lucky, but also because I CHOOSE to be happy.

PHILOSOPHY

Be happy and try not to hurt anyone or the earth in the process

A motto I learned early on: "It could always be worse~"
