I am a journalist and a co-founder of The Very Asian Foundation. I believe we can serve our viewers/communities while representing our authentic selves and honoring our unique lived experiences. I raise money for nonprofit organizations that support AANHPI causes, and I create merchandise and programming to support AANHPIs. I create engaging, relevant content on several platforms for the NBC affiliate, KSDK, in St. Louis. I anchor and report on consumer advocacy, general news, and special projects. Previously, I worked at KING 5 in Seattle, where I re-launched an hour-long early evening news program and anchored mornings. Before that, I served as a primary evening anchor in Wisconsin, North Carolina, and Southwest Missouri. I am an innovator, a visual storyteller, a veteran journalist, and a working mom. - 1 Peabody Award- 4 national Edward R. Murrow Awards including innovation and feature writing- 9 regional Edward R.
