ABOUT
I’m a FilAm sound mixer making a huge life move from SF to LA to pursue my dream of working on bigger budget projects as well as making the transition from non-union to union. Most of my work is in corporate and commercials as that is the bread and butter in San Francisco but my love is indie narratives because of the passion and teamwork with everyone on set. At this point in my life and career I have to go big for the experience and representation. My whole life I’ve been persuaded out of opportunities due to my race and height and it hindered my confidence until recent events and seeing more successful Asian and Asian American filmmakers, actors and crew making waves in the industry. I want to be apart of the representation in the sound department and have our work be recognized.
