I am a first generation Asian American born and raised in New York City. As the oldest of my siblings and cousins, and the first to go to college, I have had to figure out important life and career decisions on my own while being mindful of the precedent I might be setting for others in the family.

After working at companies and nonprofits like Apple, Samsung, and DonorsChoose.org, creating new products as part of founding teams at various incubators and startups like Betaworks, Hatch Labs, and Citizen, and serving entrepreneurs as an independent consultant and advisor - I’m excited to join The Grand to help build the type of place that I wish I had access to when I was younger: a home for a diverse community of humans to share experiences in a meaningful way and support one another on our professional and life journeys.
