Born and raised in the Bay Area, I’ve always felt a deep, intuitive connection to space—how we inhabit it, and how our daily lives and social status shape our access to and experience of it. As a child, I often accompanied my mom as she supported newly immigrated families starting their lives in the U.S., and this sparked a strong need in me to find ways to support my community. I’ve always been creatively driven, with a passion for connection and storytelling, and I am eager to explore the intersection of space, identity, and lived experience.
