Hi there.
Fun fact: I love being a leader.
​
I’m also a change-maker with two decades of experience in program management, organizational development, and global philanthropy. I enjoy exploring organizational cultures, solving problems, and bringing creativity and joy to workplaces worldwide.
​
As the daughter of refugees from Southeast Asia, I’ve learned that diversity and inclusivity are essential for thriving communities. With a mix of hope, bold risk-taking, and innovation, amazing things can happen. I’ve led projects that uplift communities with dignity and create lasting social impact. Fluent in French and Hmong, I truly value inclusivity and cross-cultural understanding, helping me connect with people from all walks of life.
