Hello!

I am a UCLA art school graduate with a BFA in Fine Art. I studied abroad in Southeast Asia for a half year and taught English for a year in Japan before migrating back to Southern California.  Now I am living in Koreatown in Los Angeles and living it up with the amazing Mexican bakeries and cheap Korean supermarkets in my neighborhood.

 I am a proud volunteer of Tuesday Night Project, one of the longest-running free public art spaces in downtown Los Angeles for the last 12 years. Check out Tuesday Night Cafe in Little Tokyo the first and third Tuesday of every month!

Most recently, I have dedicated myself to become a lifelong student of DIY Grad School. For anyone who is interested in becoming a student of DIY Grad School, enrollment is ALWAYS open.
