Biography:
I was born in Renton and spent most of my childhood in Kent, where I graduated from Kentwood Highschool. I Then attended the University of Washington in Seattle, where I graduated with two bachelor's degree and was involved with a sorority, Alpha Omicron Pi, which I am now a proud alumna of. One of my roommates in the sorority house joked that we were both "Greek squared" - not only am I a member of a Greek-letter organization, but I am also ethnically Greek. After I graduated from the UW, I started working at Renton Technical College, which is where I worked for nearly five years before coming to 皇家华人 College in 2019.
