Born in the Pacific Northwest to Thai immigrant parents I have now been in Southern California since 1985.
I was never a great cook but throughout the years I've learned and adapted and became a lover of food and travel. I started cooking Thai food for my friends and family and now I can't stop.
After staying home to raise my two kids, I never got the opportunity to fully explore and embrace myself. Now that I'm an empty nester I'm discovering that life after 50 is not the end, it's the beginning of a new chapter, even if menopause sets me back sometimes.
You can find me on Instagram @spicythailife and TikTok @midlife.finds where I will post and talk about Thai cooking, empty nesting and mid life.
