About

I graduated from Princeton’s School of Public and International Affairs with minors in Global Health & Health Policy and Asian American Studies. I’ve built hands-on experience leading programs, managing $500K+ budgets, coordinating cross-functional teams, and translating data into insights that drive strategy. Whether it was scaling early literacy programs to distribute 50K+ books annually, leading coalitions of physicians and community partners, or coordinating quarterly distributions that delivered 500K+ diapers across 19 clinics and community partners, I’ve consistently taken on roles that required ownership, problem-solving, and impact-driven execution. I’m now excited to apply these skills in roles that bridge strategy and execution, particularly in product and operations, while exploring how AI can transform healthcare, education, and community systems. I thrive in fast-paced, mission-driven environments where I can align stakeholders, deliver solutions, and drive meaningful impact. In my personal time, I enjoy hiking, traveling, and creating meaningful experiences through alumni engagement and wedding planning.
