As a Video Journalist at The Seattle Times, my goal is to create character-driven stories that highlight current social issues around the Pacific Northwest. 

Previously, I worked as a youth filmmaking educator, freelance photographer, and served as the Seattle Chapter President of the Asian American Journalists Association.
