~ Personal archives

My latest personal project is digitizing and organizing my entire family photo archive. I utilize archival-grade scanning equipment and software to convert and store these records in a durable digital format.

~ Fieldwork + stewardship

I collect field observations and synthesize information to inform restoration and conservation efforts. This work forms a personal archive supporting environmental stewardship, historical ecology, and community-based restoration.

~ Photography

I enjoy capturing the beauty in the mundane, often focusing on where landscapes and their dwellers meet. The intersection of time and place is another main focus of my photography, both digital and film.

My work spans a wide range of digital content, from long-form features and breaking news reports to social media posts and video captions. I helped manage the copy desk for Eater, a national award-winning food media publication. At the UCLA Asian American Studies Center, I created and managed the editorial department’s style guide and supported metadata efforts for a large-scale multimedia digital textbook.

I serve as a land steward with Test Plot, caring for native plants and documenting field observations to help urban landscapes thrive and preserve ecological knowledge for future projects.
