About Me

Photographer, Teacher, Historian

I am dedicated to using photography to craft visual narratives that deepen the connections people have with themselves, their loved ones & the present moment. A Fulbright Scholar with a PhD in East Asian history from UC Berkeley, I've taught at Cal & Stanford. I'm fluent in Mandarin and am currently planting my own garden of California native plants.
