Here are some passion projects I’ve got going on:

SPORTS -

🏀 #WNBAOakland
I’m spearheading a fan-driven effort to bring the WNBA to Oakland. We’ve got an empty arena waiting for thousands of screaming fans and a team full of superstars.
I’m mobilizing local W fans to show up and show out at watch parties, sign petitions for local government, and help build this future brand.

🥏 Premier Ultimate League (PUL)
Creating content strategy for the only women’s and nonbinary Ultimate Frisbee league with teams across the US and Colombia.

Here’s the type of work I’m looking to pursue!

PR/Communications: I want to help bridge the Sake gap between Japan and the United States. To me, that means education, parties, and poppin’ bottles of Japan’s national drink!🍾

Bon Appetit Magazine - “Hot 10 Best New Restaurants In America 2018” - #8 Yume Ga Arukara

I’m so lucky to have friends who create really, really, ridiculously tasty food and share their stories. Here are a few events I produced:

With my friend Chef Derrick Teh, we wove a story of Malaysian-Japanese flavors through the vehicle of Rendang Udon -- a slow cooked, short rib noodle soup. So freakin’ good.

With Chef James Choi, we bridged the Korean-Japanese gap with Spicy Bulgogi Cold Udon. House pickled kimchi with super savory cuts of beef. Yummmmm.

With Chefs Chris Willis and Tomo Shinoda, we threw the hottest Italian-Japanese dinner party Cambridge has ever seen, complete with custom cocktails. Tickets sold out within 2 hours.

I’m a Certified Sake Professional currently based in Oakland, CA -- helping San Franciscans and Oaklanders enjoy Japan’s national fermented bev! 

You’ll find me around The Town in my off-days picking up trash with Green Bird or working to bring WNBA to Oakland! 

I’ve seen local communities and global business come together to achieve huge things. Let’s continue to change the world together!
