I am a third culture kid, someone who grew up in a culture different than the one in which my parents grew up in. Specifically, I grew up in a Korean household, was raised in Brazil, and went to an American school - all at once. Now, I’m working full-time in tech (non-coder) in California. In this podcast, I share my experiences, thoughts, and conversations. Come tune in as I figure my way through life!
