Before moving to Asheville, North Carolina, she and her husband lived in Portland, Oregon where she began her career in East Asian medicine. The call to live closer to family, set down roots, and the pull of new opportunities brought them to Asheville.

When she is not working, she enjoys being with her two little boys, Jack and Theodore, and spending time as a family. To decompress and reduce stress she loves to cook, dance, and be outside.
