I love engaging with people of all ages about books, writing, resistance, and social justice.

I have been an English teacher, the designer of an alternative to prison program, a teacher professional development creator, and the vice principal of a small high school. I am adept at working with small groups or facilitating conference ballrooms, and genuinely enjoy working with people aged three to ninety-three!

Whether I’m leading a preschool storytime, facilitating a workshop, or keynoting a conference, I believe in designing learning experiences that are experiential, engaging, and transformative.

Some topics I am often asked to speak on include:

• My writing journey

• Children’s books as tools for equity and anti-racism

• The Power of Storytelling for Social Change

• Asian American voices and identity

As an experienced educator, I am happy to design a program that meet the needs of your organization.

I am currently booking virtual and in-person events.
