I'm a journalist, writer and producer who’s passionate about creating connections and bridging divides through storytelling.

At the start of my career, I worked in communications, PR, and marketing for companies in Silicon Valley and Canada. My role often involved working closely with founders, executives and teams across departments to develop, launch, and oversee new products and services.

Over time, I found that storytelling was among the most rewarding and powerful tools for driving impact with every initiative I was involved in. Eager to build on this skill, I went into journalism and spent the next several years learning different forms of writing. Whether it was an article, script or blog, I was always driven to find universal themes, simplify the complex, and educate, inform and inspire audiences.

My endless pursuit of these goals led to writing and producing content for news, TV, YouTube, and leading brands. My work has led to a track record of creating trending and viral content, building a loyal following, and raising awareness on undermined issues. Examples of these achievements include:

-Reviving a stagnant business docuseries channel into one of the fastest-growing and most popular. Within 18 months, I grew subscribership from 2,000 to over 700,000, increased views to over 100 million, set a studio record with a video that reached 13 million views, and secured sponsorships with leading brands, including Shopify, The Hustle, and Morning Brew.

-Becoming the lead reporter for an online publication focused on plugging the holes in Canada’s media landscape. Within seven months, I broke several stories on issues affecting Canadians' livelihoods, leading to the news spreading nationwide, immediate action from the government, and top publications pursuing follow-ups (e.g., Global News).

-Helping to relaunch a privacy-focused social network startup in Silicon Valley. The app was honoured as a finalist for SXSW's "Innovative World Technology," became one of the most downloaded in the iOS and Google Play stores, and is now supported by the World Wide Web inventor Sir Tim-Berners-Lee and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak.

Currently, I'm an innovation reporter for the Vancouver Tech Journal and am particularly keen on highlighting diverse voices and perspectives. I also volunteer for local initiatives advocating for greater diversity and occasionally accept speaking engagements (e.g., TV, radio, panels). As a second-generation Teochew and Cambodian whose parents escaped a genocide, I believe it's increasingly important to push for equal representation as it spotlights the possibilities for generations to come.
