About Me
Community is at the center of everything I do, personally and professionally. That started early, working on my hometown's community farm in college, where I learned what it means to grow something alongside a team toward a shared goal. That sense of community followed me to the Northeastern Asian American Center, where I found a home and learned what it means to lead and show up for others.
Those experiences shape how I think about communication today: not just as a way to share information, but as a way to bring people together. I'm drawn to work that does exactly that, whether through digital storytelling, program support, or collaborative strategy. Across my experiences, I've learned to adapt quickly, contribute meaningfully to teams, and approach projects with intention and curiosity.
I'm interested in how communication can support both organizations and the people they serve, and I look for opportunities that encourage collaboration, cross-disciplinary thinking, and real impact.

In April 2026, I had the privilege of sitting on the panel "Voices, Power, Transformation" at the Center for Intercultural Engagement's 10th Anniversary Celebration. Being the only student among a group of faculty, administrators, and community leaders made the opportunity all the more special. Find my feature on the CIE Instagram here, and more information about the event here.
In March 2026, I led and co-led two workshops at Northeastern's imPAACt conference: a floral arranging workshop I brought back for a second time, drawing 50+ participants through an experience centered on care and creative expression, and a yoga class co-facilitated with Signe Granese focused on mindful movement. Together, they reflected two things I care about most: building community and supporting well-being through creativity and movement.
In January 2026, I hosted a flower arranging workshop in collaboration with Northeastern's Asian American Heritage Month. The workshop exceeded expectations, attracting 50+ participants, double the anticipated attendance. Participants engaged in flower arranging, card writing, and conversation about doing special things for yourself and the people you love. This workshop was an opportunity to share the joy of thoughtful gestures with others.
In November 2025, I was nominated and chosen to speak at PAACx, the Northeastern University Asian American community’s TEDx style event. I spoke about the importance of building community and showing up intentionally for one another.
