Sensei Oanh Loi-Powell - Shodan

Oanh began her life in the  US after fleeing Vietnam in 1975 during the  aftermath of the Vietnam War.  After earning  a Bachelor of Science in Computer   Engineering from Case Western Reserve   University and a Bachelor of Arts in Music  from the Cleveland Institute of Music, Oanh  began her varied and exciting career with Ameritech as a Network Engineer, a Systems Designer and a Process Consultant.  While juggling career and home life, she also earned an MBA in Systems Control from Baldwin-Wallace College.  After 12 years in corporate America, Oanh decided to leave it all behind for the leisurely life of a stay-at-home Mom ;-)  Her most important job now is raising her three children:  Tyler, Evan and Liana, who are the joy of her life.  Oanh still stays active in several organizations including serving on the Board of Director of the Northeastern Ohio Science & Engineering Fair, and being a Girl Scout Leader and coaching the Science Olympiad teams.  Oanh’s hobbies include reading, gardening, cooking, photography, music and computers.  Achieving Shodan is the icing on the cake as martial arts has evolved into a way for the entire family to be involved in each other’s busy lives.
