Born in South Korea and adopted into a family of gymnastics school owners and coaches in Dallas, Texas, I literally grew up in the gym. I started gymnastics when I was 3 years old and continued on into college at the University of Missouri. During my time there, I obtained a Bachelor's Degree in Communications with a focus in Interpersonal Relationships and a Master's Degree in Educational, School, and Counseling Psychology with a focus in Positive Coaching and Athletic Leadership. Five years later I decided to go back to school and earn my Master's Degree in Social Work (MSW) and worked as a mental health counselor working with adolescents who struggled with low self esteem, anxiety, depression, and other mental obstacles. During my time as a counselor, I became a Life Coach on the side, focusing on helping insecure women become their most confident selves, and also started my own clothing brand called, Uni Co., a unisex streetwear clothing brand that represents the power of being unique. In addition, I have been a gymnastics choreographer since the age of 16 and still do it to this day. 

​

Today, I am a gymnastics head coach, helping shape young girls into strong confident women and athletes. Gymnastics is such an intense and focused sport that takes up so much of someone's life and time. I feel it is important to maximize that time to teach them skills that go beyond the competition floor and set them up for success in their future career, relationships, and personal life. Many of these skills are mental techniques that I have learned along my journey that will help them win more in the sport and in life in general! 

My resume and philosophy today is simply a reflection of all of my strengths, experiences, and passions coming full circle into loving what I do and knowing that I am making a difference.
