Stories are not bound by borders or pandemics - they are necessary to soothe spirits, teach lessons, and carry us forward in our humanity.  I am passionate about exploring the fault lines of beliefs, creating bridges for conversation, and am committed to anti-racist practices and curious about 'Who' or 'What is an American?'  My aspirations and responsibilities do not exist in my AAPI community and identity alone. E Pluribus Unum - out of many, one – as an American, I believe that the complex history and the conflicted present of the United States is part of my storytelling lineage.  I love language and believe in the fundamental need for fun and joy. Let's embrace the chaos of process together!
