A memoir My Pearls in Shanghai is her first published book. Currently, she is working as a writer and English instructor in Jeju Island, Korea with an unwavering belief that someday her angst and hardships could be transformed into artistic treasure in the same way the natural wonders of Jeju were made from volcanic eruption. Whenever facing a big challenge, she quietly whispers to herself ‘Don’t be afraid, follow your heart.’показать меньше
