My Story
Growing up in an international community in China, I cultivated a desire to help diverse groups of people by whatever means I was able.
This desire to help has persisted throughout my professional experiences, from my internship at the National Organization for Women writing reports on gun control, to my time as social media associate for Health Security Partners, where I elevated organizational projects to curb toxin misuse. In these positions – along with my experience as an ESL teacher in Prague – I consistently used communication skills to better inform those around me about various subjects. It is this skill set – honed in diverse fields over time – that makes me successful as a health journalist.
Good health is a universal desire, and yet we fall short each day in guaranteeing that for everyone on Earth. I hope, by raising awareness of areas for growth as a health journalist, to inform people of contemporary issues and spark discussions leading to positive change.

Beyond journalistic endeavors, I spend my time producing audio dramas, voice acting, and playing the ukulele - which can also be found under the relevant tabs on this site.
