A Little Bit About Me
-
The ocean has always been my first love – from the sun-kissed shores of Hawaii to the tropical waters of Florida and Guam where I grew up. These days, while the mountains have captured my heart, I'm still that same nature-obsessed dreamer, perpetually chasing cotton candy sunsets and rainbow sightings. There's something magical about watching morning light dance across cloud formations or catching that perfect golden hour – these are the moments where I find my clearest epiphanies and biggest inspirations.

As a Korean American adoptee growing up in a Florida town where I could count the number of Asian students on one hand, seeing Connie Chung on television was my lightbulb moment. Here was someone who looked like me, telling stories that mattered. It sparked a passion for storytelling that would shape my entire career – from writing and interviewing to sharing stories that bridge communities and connect hearts. This drive led me to produce a documentary about finding my biological mother, a journey that would later earn an Edward R. Murrow Award.

These days, my life is a beautiful chaos of professional and personal adventures. When I'm not directing client success and marketing strategies, I'm living my best mom life – playing chauffeur to my teenage boys' endless sports activities (yes, I'm that mom cheering too loudly on the sidelines as their biggest cheerleader), experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen, or dreaming up our next family adventure. Every day brings a new story to tell, a new sunset to chase, and if I'm lucky, another rainbow to remind me that life's most precious moments often come when your head's in the clouds but your heart's in the right place.
My Furry Companion
Woof, I'm
Matua
I'm a two-year-old American Bulldog with a heart as big as my paw prints! Don't let my size fool you – behind this impressive stature is a certified mama's boy who's mastered the art of puppy-dog eyes (all hundred variations of them!). My daily goals? Simple: protect my family, perfect my hide-and-seek strategy, and convince mom that every moment is a potential play moment.
​
Sure, I might occasionally channel my inner bull during playtime, but that's just part of my charm! My favorite hobbies include being my mom's personal meeting timer (you'll hear my subtle reminders when she's been in calls too long), showing off my impressive treat-motivated tricks, and giving the world's most enthusiastic kisses. And yes, I'm smart enough to know exactly how to use my adorable face to get what I want!

There's nothing I love more than seeing clients' eyes light up when their vision comes to life. Every day, I get to help diverse organizations tell their stories – from tech startups and construction industry leaders to government agencies and small businesses chasing big dreams. I thrive on transforming complex challenges into narratives that captivate and connect, always aiming to exceed expectations (because who doesn't love a good surprise?). Whether we're launching dynamic campaigns or crafting strategic communications, my greatest joy comes from watching clients succeed and knowing we played a part in their story. It's the perfect blend of strategic thinking and creative storytelling, with a healthy dose of data-driven magic thrown in!
My path through marketing and communications has been a tale of two exciting chapters! At a prestigious 5-star luxury resort, I orchestrated everything from crisis communications to strategic marketing campaigns, where every detail had to shine as brightly as our five stars. Crisis communications? Check. Brand storytelling? Absolutely. Strategic marketing campaigns? You bet! Then came an incredible opportunity to direct communications for a non-profit organization, where I helped guide over $1M in annual charitable giving to create real change in communities. What I loved most about these roles was how they taught me different sides of the same coin – whether protecting a luxury brand's reputation or amplifying stories of community impact, it all came down to authentic communication that resonates with people's hearts. Each role brought unique challenges that kept me on my toes and reminded me why I fell in love with storytelling in the first place.
Talk about a journey! From walking into my first newsroom as a high school graduate to becoming a leader in digital media transformation, every step has been an adventure in pursuit of stories that matter. I've worn just about every hat in journalism – investigative reporter, anchor, producer, CNN correspondent – each role teaching me something new about the power of truth and connection. The highlight? Producing an Edward R. Murrow award-winning documentary about finding my biological mother, proving that the most impactful stories often come from the heart. But my proudest achievement was leading a media company's evolution into a dynamic, multiplatform powerhouse. Because in this rapidly changing world, the key isn't just telling great stories – it's finding innovative ways to make sure those stories reach and resonate with the people who need to hear them.
