About

I am energized by creating bridges between worlds.

As an aquascaper in my childhood, I meticulously curated habitats in which my pet fish could thrive. As a dancer, I open a window for my audiences to experience my culture. As an advocate for health equity, I amplify voices that have been dismissed. As a management consultant, I weave together analysis with empathy to secure buy-in for operational change at Fortune 500 companies and governments.

I enjoy building meaningful connections across borders, communicating in the world’s four most widely spoken languages in my daily life. Language is the first gift I offer: a gesture that says, “I see you, and I value you.” This helped me form relationships as I moved across New York, Chicago, Shanghai, Barcelona, Philadelphia, Miami, and the Bay Area.

This virtual atelier bridges together some of my pursuits. Thank you to my friend Shyan Koul for inspiring this portfolio!
