About

I am an inspired content creator, writer and author. Currently I work in the insurance industry influencing company culture; employee engagement; and diversity, equity and inclusion while volunteering on the marketing team for an Asian American professional network and serving on the DEI advisory board for an insurance trade publication. Additionally, during my spare time, I am the Board Secretary of a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, WriteHive, serving the publishing industry and writing community with free and inclusive programming.

In my free time, I enjoy watching anime, writing, playing video games, reading, cooking/baking, photography, photoshoots, working out, yoga, spending time with family and friends, and connecting with new people.

Born and raised in Houston, TX, I fell in love with music, and singing continues to be my number one hobby. In middle school and high school, I actively participated in the school choir, performing in concerts, musicals, conferences and competitions. In addition, I recorded and posted live video performances of cover songs for a YouTube channel, as well as a collaboration channel with my younger sister. During my free time, I kept many journals filled with creative writings from poetry, lyrics and short stories.

For college I spent four years attending the University of Texas at Austin, where I got a Bachelor of Science degree in Communications – Radio-Television-Film, specializing in Screenwriting. Even though I was a full-time student, I also worked freelance as a staff photographer, videographer and writer for an online publication in New York, Rock Edition. I traveled between various Texas cities as a concert photographer and videographer for interviews with bands and artists. Also, for seven years, I worked at the South by Southwest music festival, starting as a stagehand, helping with stage setup and takedown, to artist interview videographer and photographer.

Shortly after graduating from college, I moved to the city of angels–Los Angeles–and worked in the city of opportunity for four years before relocating back to Houston. While in Los Angeles, I was the Associate Editor for a national print publication, Music Connection Magazine, which has been in circulation for over 40 years. Each month, I contributed to every print issue and was the sole manager of the magazine’s website, social media and digital marketing–on top of other major duties.

I’m currently taking a long hiatus from Twitch TV, where I am an Affiliate streamer. During my streaming days, I focused on providing variety streaming content. I streamed nightly Monday thru Friday, playing video games, cooking, playing guitar, singing, hosting charity streams and more.
