I connect leaders with resources they can leverage to grow and thrive. This is my passion, and it's what drives me to partner with companies, campaigns and individuals who are committed to creating lasting social impact.
In 2010, I moved from NYC to Nanjing without knowing a word of Chinese. While I was based in China, I embraced many opportunities to take risks. I started up a boutique study abroad consulting agency, I organized 2 TEDxYouth events, and I launched a community-based organization designed to connect Nanjing residents with opportunities to volunteer in the city.
In 2014, I made the leap from Nanjing to Los Angeles, excited about the idea of changing my professional focus from international education to tech. Since then, I've partnered with government agencies, political campaigns, nonprofit and advocacy organizations, and more, helping individuals and teams to leverage technology to achieve their goals.
During my free time, I enjoy discovering new Chinese/Korean/Thai/Uzbek/___________ restaurants in and around Queens. My new year's resolution = to visit some spots that Awkwafina highlighted in her guide to NYC. My travel bug has led me to visit a number of countries including India, Spain, Japan, Myanmar, Vietnam, El Salvador, Cuba, and Thailand. Did I mention that I have 2 rescue dogs at home? They are the greatest.
