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

I am a Center for Asian American Media fellow in 2024, a grantee of Prism Photo Workshop in 2020, and a recipient of 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 as one of the co-leads of the storytelling initiative. I have worked on the Emmy-nominated, award-winning docuseries Asian American Resilience and Beyond, co-produced by WORLD Channel and Asian American Documentary Network. I co-produced the Our Stories, Our Voices series, which premiered at CAAMFest in 2024. Our Stories, Our Voices was part of the 2024 New Orleans Film Festival and the William and Louise Greaves Seminar. 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. My work has been recognized and supported by CAAM, Illinois Arts Council, Cultural Affairs and Special Events (DCASE), Interfaith America, and many 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.
