Work History
I initially started out in college with a focus in marketing, talent, and production in live music. Ask me about the time I ran for Snoop Dogg as a freshman-- it was an absolutely wild experience.
​
Seeking to give back I fell into the nonprofit world, where I developed my event foundations and scrappy work ethic with the San Diego Asian Film Festival and La Jolla Playhouse.
Since then, I've springboarded my career into advertising with AMP Agency and Ayzenberg. My ideal next steps are to focus on campaign management and/or multicultural marketing in TV/film.
Verticals
I've always been naturally drawn to work done for the greater good. That's translated into lots of community-building, creative thinking, and collaborations with nonprofits and small businesses.
As a 2nd gen Asian American, multicultural isn't just a line of work-- it's who I am. My work with Silk Road Productions and Character Media has further instilled in me an affinity for building cultural experiences.
At the end of the day, entertainment has always been my north star. It has the power to connect, educate, and transform how people see the world and each other.
Outside of Work
Outside of the daily routine, I'm a huge foodie-- this whole career thing may or may not be to fund my obsession. Ask me for my favorite spots in LA and prepare to have your ear talked off!
I also love anything related to small businesses. On weekends 99% of the time you'll find me exploring new local spots. One day I even hope to have one of my own.
As you may have guessed, I'm also drawn to anything entertainment related: live music, film, TV, theatre, you name it! Surprisingly not helpful at trivia though (sorry).
