I am a journalist based in Los Angeles, CA. I have almost six years of experience in journalism while working in Los Angeles’ arts and culture spaces. With a preservationist lens, I enjoy writing about my city and the diasporic movements of the 20th century that have made it one of the most culturally diverse areas in California. As we approach the Olympics’ arrival to the U.S. in 2028, I aim to focus on the housing insecurity, youth inequity, and resistance movements that arise from sportswashing. Much of this reporting will be rooted in my own identity as a first generation Korean Angeleno who witnesses how often later-generation API groups–with their own history of organizing and movement building–are underrepresented in stories of dissent and struggle. Outside of my writing, I love birdwatching and talking about Real Housewives of Salt Lake City (I love mess).
