Personal Interests:

I worked as a lecturer for a College of nursing in Thailand and came to the United States to study nursing. While in the United States I got married to an American guy-very unexpected. I earned a Master of Science in nursing degree (Adult Clinical Nurse Specialist) from The University of Alabama at Birmingham in 2008. During the program, I also worked as an RN at the spinal cord injury unit in UAB hospital for a year. Moving from the South to the Pacific Northwest has been a journey and I enjoy living and studying in Portland. I have started to do yoga at my local gym which has been very fun!
