Transplated to Baltimore from Michigan almost 3 years ago! Currently working as a clinical therapist for a mental health and substance abuse recovery program. I hope to stay inspired and use my creativity to inspire others.

I'm a daughter and have two older brothers who are located throughout the country. I have two cats (meatball and Peanut) and pride myself on being that "crazy cat lady" at such a young age. I also recently inherited a black lab named Raven as my boyfriend and I just recently moved in together.

I'm adopted from South Korea when I was just 4 months old. I have been back and met my natural family- including both mother, father, younger sister, cousins, aunts, uncles and grandparents. It's a wild feeling but has such an impact on my life as a whole. I currently run an adoptee therapy group for other adoptees to address challenges from being adopted and explore benefits and successes in each others' lives.

I'm also involved as a support faciliator for people with a family member suffering from alzheimers. I help promote positive support and effective care giving to those indivivduals as well as providing education on the disease.

Card making is my number one! I love one of a kind cards and matching envelopes to send or sell. I love snail mail and feel like it's quickly becomming a lost art.

I've worked as a professional photographer and artist. More specifically, portrait photography, painting and graphic design.

Learning to sew and hoping to do all sorts of fun projects

I dabble in some jewelry making and definitely desire to learn to reupholster funiture.

Despite my favorites, I love color, design, and anything crafty!

I really enjoy books that are relevant to my profession-- which really encompasses a number of self- help and inspirational books;
