She was born in Redwood Metropolis from a household of Korean immigrants, grew up in Saratoga and lived in Dublin for 20 years. She additionally survived a bout with most cancers earlier than she was killed. She was 48.

Her husband stepped as much as fill serve the rest of her time period on the college board via November 2022.

The college district’s attorneys in June 2023 filed a movement for abstract judgement, arguing the county court docket “lacks jurisdiction over the claims.”
