About Me:

• This is my 24th year of teaching, and my third year at Roosevelt High School. I absolutely love it! My first 21 years of teaching were all at the middle school level. I hold a BA and MA in teaching English as a second language. I’m originally from Korea and immigrated to Hawaii when I was in high school. So, I had firsthand experience learning English as my second language, which allows me to empathize with my students. I enjoy teaching and watching my students grow academically and socially. I can’t wait to have another great year!
