I tell stories: yours and mine.

I’m a San Francisco Bay Area based freelance writer with a focus on Asian American culture, food, and education. My reporting has been featured on NPR, Public Radio International, and NBC Asian America. My essays have been published by Tin House, Catapult, Shondaland and more. I have pieces published in the anthologies Lavanderia: A Mixed Load of Women, Wash and Word and Mamas and Papas: On the Sublime and Heartbreaking Art of Parenting (City Works Press).

Look out for my debut memoir, How to Cook Rice: The Care and Feeding of an Immigrant Family, in early 2027 from Regalo Press and distributed by Simon & Schuster. This collection of stories and recipes reflects on my bittersweet experiences as a first-born daughter of Taiwanese immigrants learning to navigate life in the California suburbs, Asian American identity, and motherhood while redefining my relationship with my parents and exploring what love, food, and family mean in light of my generational roots.
