I am a motivated and enthusiastic fourth-year student at the University of Virginia majoring in Psychology with a minor in Business. Marketing, Consulting, and Sales Development are of particular interest. My previous work experience taught me the importance of teamwork, effective communication, and leadership.

I like to write about stuff I’m passionate about and engage others along the way. By day, I turn technical language into compelling storytelling as a product marketing writer in tech. I’m also a freelance journalist reporting on young people and AANHPI communities, with bylines in Teen Vogue, NBC Asian America, The Guardian, and more. I recently directed and wrote my first video game called J-Town: A Visual Novel (available to play for free on Steam and itch.io). In the past, I’ve used my writing and communications skills to build educational program curriculum, acquire grants, organize events, and create marketing materials for nonprofit organizations.
