  • Where do you call home?
    • Home, location-wise, is Niles; I was raised here on the same block for over a decade, and even after I've spent several years living in Urbana-Champaign, my journey has led me back here. Home, people-wise, is scattered all across the country and world; San Diego, Seattle, New York, Seoul, etc.
  • What do you do at Northwestern?
    • I'm a graduate assistant with Multicultural Student Affairs, specifically working with APIDA (Asian, Pacific Islander, Desi American) scholars! And until very recently, I was the graduate assistant for this year's Summer Academic Workshop (SAW)-- much love to this year's cohort of counselors, participants, facilitators, and planning committees.
  • What groups/ committees/ communities are you a part of at NU?
    • I have very recently joined the APIDA Staff Affinity Group (ASAG); since I'm still new to Northwestern, I hope that my answer to this question around community continues to evolve as I get to know more!
  • What are you passionate about?
    • Storytelling. I believe that nuanced storytelling can speak life into the world, and that through telling stories, we create a greater understanding of our own selves and move towards a more healed collective consciousness.
  • What are some moments/ accomplishments/ projects that you have been proud of?
    • I've been very proud of this year's SAW-- incredibly proud of everyone who came together to make things happen in a year with lots of transitions.
  • Where can you be found around campus?
    • I'm usually at the Multicultural Center (2nd floor) or around Garrett's campus for class. Please feel free to drop by if you're able!
  • What do you like to do in your spare time?
    • I'm usually at my local public library reading (#saveNileslibrary), or procrastinating on some graphic design projects by watching art studio vlogs, dance videos, and vegan recipe developers.
