I've given over 30 talks at SXSW, 3% Conference, AAPI rallies, agencies, and Fortune 500 corporations. I am passionate about creating opportunities and paths for others to succeed. I'm president of TEDxCulverCity and had nine sold-out events. Lastly, I'm a creative marketing professor at LMU's M.School and my students took 1st and 2nd place in the Effie’s Collegiate competition.
