I am a freelance writer based in the Washington, D.C. area. My writing has been featured in CNN Style, Daily Meal, Washingtonian Magazine, Richmond Times-Dispatch, The Associated Press, The Washington Post, RVA Magazine, and more.
My journalistic interests include arts & culture, internet culture, human interest, and LGBTQ+/queer & AAPI communities. I also have experience in food writing. In my free time, I run a newsletter-style blog called Flop Era — a digital platform for me to muse on pop culture, cultural trends and all things Gen Z. I was also a writer at Chelo Chelo, a self-published zine created by and for Southeast Asian creatives.
When I’m not writing, I’m busy trying new food spots, having my nose in a book, and being perpetually online.
