About Me(우리에 대해서)

SAMMIE (쌤미)

Hello (안녕하세요), my name is Sammie (쌤미) and I am here to introduce myself to all of you lovely readers.

I was born, raised, and still live in New Jersey. When I am not writing, editing, photographing, and all the other things that come with running a site, I commute to New York for my full time job of working as an EDI Specialist for a shoe company. I am half Cuban (My mother) and half Italian, (My father) and speak more Korean than either language they tried desperately to teach me growing up.

I started writing when I was in the fifth grade. At first, it was your run of the mill journal entries. I still have those journals and have looked back on them several times and cringe. It then became stories, of things I wished I had said or done, and soon simply stories of other characters and creatures. I thank my mother forever for the creative writing gene as she is a New York Time Best-Selling author.

I came up with the concept of this site from SAT books I read when I was in high-school. Yes, SAT books (Did you not grasp I was a nerd yet?). The concept of the books were to teach you SAT vocabulary by throwing the words into enjoyable books. I remember one that was a summer romance specifically and I remember reading it several times. Those books made learning enjoyable. And that’s where the idea of Korean From Context stemmed from.

I’m excited to play and explore my own world with this site and I hope you enjoy the journey with and my friends!
