I'm a writer, editor, and cultural connector committed to diversity, inclusion and empowerment. I believe in the power of the arts and culture to impact, inspire, and improve our lives and our communities. The stories we tell through the varied modalities of our imaginations reveal and celebrate who we are and allow for meaningful connections with each other. 

 

I assist artists and arts companies in all disciplines to articulate their vision and to strategize ways to realize projects. I've been privileged to work with amazing individual artists, small collectives, and national organizations for almost twenty years. 

​

I was born in Korea and have lived across Canada, from Vancouver to Tiohtiá:ke/Montreal where I am currently based. I studied at University of Calgary (BA, English & Commerce) and University of Toronto (MA, Literature). I have a Cultural Arts Management certificate from Waterloo University, the Cultural Careers Council of Ontario, and Genovese Vanderhoof & Associates' Income Managers Program. My artistic metier is writing, and I'm developing a work of historical fiction for which I was awarded the Quebec Writers Federation's Max Margles Prize for Fiction in 2022.  I have a passion for the ocean and the outdoors, taking low impact, solo expeditions into the wilderness whenever I can.
