I graduated high school in Yongsan, Seoul, South Korea.
I completed some college at the University of Maryland University College in Korea.
I received my Bachelor's degree from the University of South Dakota in 2016 in Psychology.
I received my Master's degree from the University of South Dakota in 2020.
