Hello! I am a designer, researcher, facilitator, and educator working for equity and social justice.
Anti-racism Transformation Team at Columbia
As a member of the Anti-racism Transformation Team at Columbia College Chicago, I collaborate with 24 other students, staff, faculty, and administrators as we collectively develop antiracist strategy and action at the college.
Anti-racism community of practice at ID
In 2020, following the murders of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor as well as the increase in anti-Asian discrimination during the COVID-19 pandemic, I helped start an Anti-racist Community of Practice at IIT Institute of Design, through which we are examining our curriculum, policies and practices across the school.
Innovation & Impact: Cultivating Food Equity
Using entrepreneurial thinking to generate ideas that imagine a more equitable future food system, students learn to recognize and cultivate opportunities for a range of innovative projects such as business ventures, social and civic services, and creative projects in media, arts, and design. Designed as a transformative DEI educational experience, the class offers structures for students to assess, leverage and add to their own skills sets through transdisciplinary collaboration and proactive self-evaluation practices.
