Biography
I am a second‑generation Hmong American scholar with roots in Milwaukee. I hold a B.S. from the University of Wisconsin–Madison and master’s degrees in Asian American Studies and Public Health from UCLA. My experience has been in oral histories, community health and programming, and non-profit work. I have had opportunities to serve in multiple community organizations to lead community-driven initiatives to improve access to health and wellness. As a member of this team, I am deeply grateful to continue working with community to create social change and deeper impact on health and wellness. In my role, I will be identifying and expanding community partnerships and assessing engagement strategies for future long-term collaborations. Outside of my professional work, I enjoy unplugged walks with my husband, doodling and finding new shows to binge, and picking up my paj ntaub when I need slow moments.
