I'm a writer, editor, host, and director—which is all to say that I tell interesting stories about interesting people, whether on TV, in print, or on the internet. As a queer Asian American, I'm especially focused on representing the underrepresented whenever I can.
In January 2024, I’ll be joining the San Francisco Chronicle as lead restaurant critic. Formerly I was a senior editor at Bon Appétit. My writing appears in the Best American Food Writing 2021, and my videos have won Webby Awards and screened at the Centre Pompidou. Previously I worked at the Ford Foundation, Human Rights Watch, and Cinereach and hosted the BRIC podcast Glitter & Doom.
