About Me

I am a queer Korean American who is part of a new generation of storytelling: one that confronts oppressive power structures and questions binaries. Theatre is created with diverse companies is necessary to make powerful work.

I am a technician and theater artist based in the West Coast. I have 7 years of live mixing experience with a myriad of genres including live orchestras and bands, jazz concerts, dance shows, musical theater, and plays. I started in high school and community theater. As an audio technician and ended as the lead audio engineer for Huntington Beach High School District. I learned my craft in a theater that hosted more than 15 productions a year: it was there I learned that being prepared and organized are critical building blocks for a theater artist. This technical background is ever-present and critically informs my work sound design. ​

I am inspired by theater that aims to serve the communities in which it is presented. Anna Deavere Smith’s Twilight, Los Angeles is a beacon of this kind of work, for me: it is a more intimate form of theater that calls attention to multiple perspectives and shines lights on a more objective form of truth. This objective truth is a powerful ingredient I seek to bring to all of my work; after all theater that relies heavily on engaged audiences is what drives this art form forward. It demands new interpretations and lives as dynamic pieces of work rather than remaining static in time.
