My father grew up in Aberdeen and graduated from Weatherwax High School so I visited family in the area when I was very young. I bought a home in Aberdeen in 1995 and lived in Aberdeen from 1997 - 2000 while attending Grays Harbor Community College where I earned my AA degree. After that, I moved to Hawaii where I earned a PhD in Education focused on Vietnamese language learners. I moved back to Aberdeen in 2017. I have a strong background in technologies (perhaps more Apple-centric) and a passion for learning foreign languages. I'm pretty capable with Thai and Vietnamese, while my Japanese is quite rusty. Recently I started learning Spanish for fun.
