I'm a second-generation Korean-American, born in Rockford, IL. My parents are hard-working immigrants with an entrepreneurial spirit and a deep faith in God; they taught me the value of prayer, commitment to excellence, and always giving my best with a smile. 

I met my husband Todd at Northwestern University (Go Cats!) and graduated with a double degree in English Education and Piano Performance. We moved to Frisco, TX in 2004 and raised our three girls in the safest city with the best schools. 

Now that we have become empty nesters, we are grappling with what the next chapter looks like. Will our daughters come back to Frisco, or will they find what they're looking for somewhere else? My goal is to curate the growth of our city to not only address our current population's needs, but build for the future so we can all live, work, play and STAY in Frisco.
