About me

(always in between things...)

I’m an interdisciplinary marketer with roots in Shanghai, Boston, and New York. Growing up across continents as a third-culture kid shaped the way I see the world: always curious, always connecting dots across cultures, mediums, and ideas. That upbringing gave me an instinct for navigating the in-between—between identities, languages, and disciplines—and it’s where I do my most meaningful work.

My background sits at the intersection of storytelling, strategy, and cultural research. I hold a B.S. in Media, Culture, and Communication from NYU and an M.A. in East Asian Studies from Columbia, where my research explored the social experiences of the "parachute generation." That lens of cross-cultural analysis continues to inform how I approach my creative work today.

​

Professionally, I’ve worked across marketing, creative production, campaign development, and research and strategy. My experience spans organizations like CNN, Tesla, NPR, and now an ad agency where I focus on crafting culturally grounded work that resonates.

Outside of work, I’m based in New York. You can find me picnicking at Gantry Park, running through Greenpoint, or walking around the city with my camera. Whether you're a fellow third-culture kid or just someone who loves to explore the in-between spaces, I’m always open to a good conversation.
