A fourth generation, Japanese American video editor for Dear Asian Youth. She values media as a form of visual communication and its role in social change and justice. You can find her butchering her grandmother's Japanese recipes, planning her next photoshoot, sipping on boba with her reusable boba straw (shoutout to mother nature), gawking over every item in every Sanrio collaboration ever, and whispering sweet nothings to her plants. It's her mission to amplify and validate the experiences of BIPOC in an attempt to make our communities feel safe, validated and included.
