Fun Fact

I'm a first-gen immigrant with an unbeatable work ethic! My perfectionist streak, while making me great, occasionally hijacks my performance. Balancing work and life is tough—I'm head over heels for work, it's hard not to dive in all the time!

Passion

My biggest motivation right now is snagging a fast-paced job in New York, where I can dive into creating products that exceed expectations. I set high bars for myself and thrive under pressure, making this the perfect arena for me to shine!

    Try on Dark Academia Thrift Haul
    April 2021
    This is a short clip of a thrift haul that is an accurate reflection of my personality and interests outside of curating experience-based products! I love fashion but ultimately it wasn't the right career path for me due to my intense love of management.
