As a nonprofit leader with a strong foundation in postdoctoral academic research, I specialize in participatory methods, inclusive program design, and impact measurement that prioritizes lived experience. My work sits at the intersection of critical race theory, gender studies, cultural and artistic traditions, and immigrant insights. Currently leading strategy and evaluation at the National Asian Pacific American Women's Forum while supporting artists through residencies and writing projects.
