I report on the intersection of being Asian and American and the impact of our growing communities in Southern California.
I started working in newspapers straight out of college, with assignments that took me from Central America’s largest dump to coastal Mississippi post-Katrina. I made the jump to public radio as a host and reporter for Maine Public Radio. I joined this newsroom in 2012, where I’ve covered various beats -- immigration, housing and religion -- always keeping an ear out for underrepresented voices.
Recent awards I have received for my work include the Regional Edward R. Murrow award in 2020 for feature reporting on homelessness in Koreatown, L.A. Chapter Journalist of the Year in 2021 from the Society of Professional Journalists, the Freedom of the Press Catalyst Award from the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press in 2024, and the Suzanne Ahn Civic Engagement & Social Justice Award from Asian American Journalists Association in 2025.
One of the best things about LA is there’s always something new to try and I’m mostly talking about food. Also, visiting family in Asia is just a non-stop flight away.
