I am a Chicago-based filmmaker and journalist with a passion for visual storytelling that reflects human interests and social issues.

I was a Center for Asian American Media fellow in 2024, a grantee of Prism Photo Workshop in 2020, a finalist for the Film Independent Documentary Producing Lab in 2024 and a semi-finalist for the Sundance Humanities Sustainability Fellowship in 2022.

I received fellowships from Free Spirit Media and City Bureau in Chicago. The reporting series I worked on at City Bureau was a finalist for the Peter Lisagor Awards for Exemplary Journalism in 2020.

With Asian American Documentary Network (A-Doc), I curate and produce micro and short documentaries centered on the Asian American experience and community-driven stories, including the Emmy-nominated, award-winning docuseries Asian American Resilience and Beyond, co-produced by WORLD Channel and Asian American Documentary Network. I recently co-produced the 2024 Our Stories, Our Voices series, which premiered at CAAMFest and screened nationwide. My first short documentary, Whispers In the Dark, was an official selection for the 2020 American Documentary and Animation Film Festival. I have worked on visual projects for BBC, CNBC, Belt Magazine, Global Citizen, AARP, among others.

In my free time, I am an amateur sabre fencer and enthusiastic library goer.

I am fluent in English and Mandarin, and understand conversational Japanese and Cantonese.
