Tara Popp holds a Master of Arts degree in Youth Development with an emphasis on youth and technology and a Bachelor of Arts degree in English with a concentration in Romantic and Modern literature and poetry.  Ms. Popp was born and raised in Seoul for 30+ years as a Korean-American living around military and civilian communities. She moved down to Pyeongtaek officially in 2018.  Though she misses the big city life in Seoul, she has grown to love the Pyeongtaek area and country living.

Ms. Popp has many hobbies and interests and is a long-time blogger and user of social media.  She also enjoys visiting new restaurants and cafes, of which she actively shares her foodie adventures on Pyeongtaek Food & Fun and other social media platforms and groups.  She recently joined South of Seoul as a volunteer, and she continues to come up with ideas on how to share her unique experiences with the Pyeongtaek community.
When she is not volunteering, you can find her reading on her Kindle, playing video games on her many handheld consoles, and wandering around the streets of Pyeongtaek to look for new places to try and love.
