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.

In her time away from the office and love of medicine, she is a true homebody and enjoys spending time with her husband Mark and son Jack.
