I an urban planner and Associate at Cascadia Partners in Portland Oregon specializing in data, GIS, and the environment.

I am a Jewish, Chinese American, transracial adoptee. I was born in China and my formative years we’re on the East coast (Portland ME & Cambridge MA). I moved to Portland, OR in 2013 to attend school. In addition to educational endeavors, I’ve worked in the space of social media to add nuance to activism online.
