Living as a 2.0 gen Asian American Woman & Adult child of immigrants, most of my reflections and experiences bring forth collective themes of invisibility, erasure, silence, and systemic racism that other BIPOC and discrimination LGBTQIA+ peers experienced in our upbringings and existing in these systems. I understand what it’s like to feel paralyzed and internalize it. I am passionate and sensitive to these areas, primarily when we work in areas where we often don’t have the language. I hope to give you autonomy while empowering you as we work together on these spaces.

I have spent most of my career working with college students and young adults helping them navigate small and Big traumas (Religious/Church, Racial, Childhood, Displacement, Immigrant), self-worth, imposter syndrome, conflict resolution, and more. I have also worked in mentoring and educating in social justice frameworks while destigmatizing mental health in BIPOC communities. I have also partnered with and mentored young women of color regarding racial identity work, self-advocacy work, and navigating leadership spaces in nonprofit, corporate, and church/ministry areas.
