Tai, who is a seven year breast cancer survivor, moved to the Wood River Valley from Louisiana where she was raised in a Baptist family in a small town in south Louisiana in 2006. She graduated from the University of Louisiana with a bachelor's degree in Mass Communication. Tai is also a part-time caterer. She likes to call herself an "Asian Cajun." You can find Tai entertaining and cooking up a storm for her friends, and other times you can find her rooting for her favorite college football team (LSU) or on the ski mountain wearing everything pink!

The move, of course, means trading the dense humidity of Louisiana for Sun Valley's crisp clear mornings. But it also means leaving her Laotion and Thai community behind. Still, she's looking forward to the adventure ahead.
