Milestones
My road in life has been direct.
I started with a passion for storytelling, specifically in anime, exploring the power of narratives to shape perspectives.
After experiencing the freedom of storytelling during a semester in Japan, I vowed never to lose that autonomy.
I received an Echoing Green Fellowship right before college graduation, which kickstarted my entrepreneurial journey.
I founded Weird Enough Productions, using storytelling to address issues like media misrepresentation and social impact.
I’ve since grown my organization to reach millions, pairing original content with educational curricula to improve student literacy and mental health.

Advice for Getting Started
Here's the first step for everyone
I got to where I am because I had a very clear and strong vision about what I wanted. You'll get farther if you honestly ask yourself the question, "What do I want?" Rather than charting your path based on what sounds good in a Forbes interview or in a Nobel prize acceptance speech, figure out what you actually want when it's only you that you're answering to.
