I am a journalist from New York City. I currently work as a Writing Associate Producer for “Velshi” on MSNBC and have over eight years of experience in print and broadcast journalism, covering everything from news and politics to arts and culture.

I am a former NBCUniversal Page, a former intern for WNYC’s All of It with Alison Stewart, and a freelance writer with bylines in outlets including SYFY Wire, JoySauce, Our Town NY, and the West Side Spirit. I also publish Eyes and Ears, an arts and culture blog, on Substack.

I am an alumnus of Wesleyan University. There, I served as Editor-in-Chief and Podcast Host at The Wesleyan Argus, Academic Chair of the Asian American Student Collective, and was a member of The Korean Student Association.

I received Honors in English for the thesis Secret Agency: Espionage, Authorship, and Race in Contemporary Asian American Fiction, which analyzes the themes of espionage work and multicultural identity in three novels: The Sympathizer by Viet Thanh Nguyen, Native Speaker by Chang-rae Lee, and My Year of Meats by Ruth Ozeki.

For over five years, I hosted The K-Pop Power Hour, a radio show dedicated to discussion and analysis of Korean pop music which broadcast on WESU, 88.1 FM Middletown, airing between October 2018 to January 2024.
