I’m a Chinese/Vietnamese American, raised in Los Angeles, with over 20 years of career experience in the fashion and beauty industry. Recently, I’ve reset my career to align with my purpose—focusing on sustainability, ethical fashion, non-toxic beauty, and making a positive difference in underserved communities.

I’m extremely passionate about advocating for thrifted and second-hand fashion, and always on the hunt for unique finds while reducing landfill waste! We need to reduce the need to buy new all the time; less IS more. I often challenge human mass-consumption behavior and encourage the conversation around how it impacts the environment.

My other passion is advocating for ways to lead a balanced lifestyle - staying nourished by eating well, exercising, staying hydrated, getting out into nature, and managing / reducing stress levels.

In my spare time I love traveling, hiking, camping, kayaking, paddleboarding, beach-hopping, sun-soaking, baking and cooking, playing tennis or ping pong, puzzles, collecting children's books, and making pottery is my therapy.
