and I’m a writer, performer, and photographer from the island of Guåhan.

I have been featured by NBC news, the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center, Poets & Writers.org, and more. I am a two-time grand slam champion of Houston’s slam poetry team, “Write About Now,” which ranked fifth in the nation in 2018, and I recently won first place at the 2023 Bigfoot Regional Poetry Slam festival with my PNW slam team, team “tbd.”

I specialize in portrait and performing arts photography and have previously taught poetry and coached performance with the non-profit “Writers in the Schools.”

My services include portrait and event photography, and poetry workshops, performances, and coaching. I’m based in Vancouver, WA, but often work with clients in Portland, OR — I’d love to work with you.
