About Me
Throughout my lifelong journey in the arts, my number one passion across all mediums has been storytelling. While training in classical percussion at Chapman University, I gained a great deal of expertise in recording technology and project management. I also sound designed over a dozen student films at the Dodge College of Film and Media Arts.
Growing up in predominantly white New England as an Asian American inspired me to create stories that would empower minorities to make positive change in the world through art. As I write my own story, I continue to push for justice and equity in the game industry, as every creator deserves to have their voice heard through their craft.
