Arts Organizer
With experience curating exhibitions, coordinating events and managing art festivals in the Asian American community of San Francisco, I take part in an ecosystem of artists and art professionals who bring significance to our cultural agency and belonging.
Organizational Lineage
Asian American Women Artists Association (AAWAA)
As the Managing Director at AAWAA, I work to ensure we continue to create spaces and opportunities to for Asian American women in the arts through strategic fundraising, development, exhibitions and programming.
Asian Pacific Islander Cultural Center (APICC)
At APICC, I managed the organization’s signature United States of Asian America Festival (from 2018-2022) and many other programs throughout the year, cultivating skills and providing a platform for numerous artists and event producers.
Kearny Street Workshop (KSW)
KSW remains to be an organization near and dear to many in San Francisco’s AAPI arts community as a starting point for many emerging artists and curators through its annual festival, APAture. I served as APAture Festival Coordinator in 2017 and 2019 and continue to support and stay connected in community.
