I am a queer Chinese biracial facilitator, neighbor and artist in Sacramento. I taught in middle and high school classrooms for a decade, mostly in NYC public schools. Today, I create opportunities for young people and adults to experiment with ideas and practice new ways of being.

My current practice is focused on designing field trips for adults. I’m interested in the ways that unfamiliar environments can jumpstart joy and creativity, rattle our worldview, and get folks unstuck. I organize convenings, workshops for teachers, externships, city tours for children, and other experiences that explore the “outside.”
