I am a journalist, editor, and audience strategist.
What I Do
Today, I work at Nieman Reports, a publication of the Nieman Foundation for Journalism at Harvard, where I get to work with reporters and newsroom leaders from around the world every day.
My experience sits at the intersection of editorial, audience engagement, and operations. I've managed contributors and fact-checkers across multiple time zones, overseen digital publishing and audience growth strategies, and coordinated international reporting projects. As interim audience engagement editor at Nieman Reports, I helped increase digital traffic by 20% while supporting the publication's day-to-day editorial operations. In 2024, I led editorial operations for our Spring 2024 feature on Gaza, which was a 2025 Mirror Award finalist. I recruited and coordinated Arabic-speaking fact-checkers and fixers based in Cairo, London, and Gaza, to support our original reporting and photo verification efforts across Arabic and English sources.
Outside of my day job, I'm passionate about creating spaces where journalists can learn from one another and build lasting community. I serve as president of the Asian American Journalists Association's (AAJA) New England chapter, co-director of AAJA's early career affinity group, Yung AAJA, and a board member for NüVoices. In 2025, I built Yung AAJA's Online Toolkit for emerging journalists and regularly moderate our virtual events and panels. At NüVoices, I launched the organization's workshop series, which has become its primary source of revenue.
I've been invited as a guest speaker at Boston University's College of Communication, Arizona State University, Columbia University, and currently mentor college students through AAJA's Mentor Match program. I'm available for college class visits, workshop facilitation, and event moderation about building a journalism career: internships, freelancing, networking, and navigating a changing media industry.
