Where are you based out of?

I am currently based in Malibu, California  for school, but originally from Seattle, Washington.

Why did you decide to be an AKP Ambassador?

I deeply appreciate AKP’s mission to unite the Asian American community through sports. Having grown up playing sports my whole life,  I have seen firsthand how they can bring people together in powerful ways. AKP not only fosters that sense of community, but also connects it to our purpose and identity as Asian Americans in service to the world. I am honored to represent this vision as an ambassador.

What do you enjoy/appreciate about being an AKP ambassador?

I love the AKP community—it is truly made up of wonderful, inspiring individuals who are dedicated to loving God and His people. I am honored to use my experience as an author and communicator to inspire and mentor the next generation of athletes—but above all, children of God—who are seeking meaning and faith in a lost world.

Other than you being an author, what should AKP supporters know about you?

I love speaking at youth groups, churches, conferences, and gatherings to inspire the next generation to fall in love with God and discover their identity and purpose in Him. If you know a youth group that could use encouragement from a college student, I would love to connect and share my story with them!
