About me
The identities that ground me most connect me to people and keep me in honest conversation with the systems that shape our lives: mother, coach, strategist, weaver, evaluative thinker, artist, and creative practitioner. I came to this work with a core belief that how we transform ourselves shapes how we transform systems. My ongoing practice and (un)learning aim to bridge what is often divided, creating and holding spaces where self and collective care, technical expertise, and culture building intersect to move change that is both radical and real.
My career began in public health and evolved into consulting for mission-driven organizations committed to health equity and systems change. Along the way, I found that coaching and mentorship grew beyond formal roles through conversations with young people, emerging leaders, and career changers navigating the health professions while also seeking to cultivate creative practices in community with other BIPOC folks. I continue to carry this source of light and joy, helping people be bold leaders regardless of positionality and co-conspirators in shaping liberatory ways of working grounded in justice and care.
My creative practice integrates arts and culture into the work of transformation as vital and strategic vehicles for social change. As a longtime member and resident tour DJ for Oakland-based hip-hop artists and activists—acclaimed journalist and emcee Rocky Rivera and Grammy and Emmy Award-winning children’s music group Alphabet Rockers—we’ve spent the past 20 years blending performance and dialogue to spark community conversations and support movement building across the U.S. and abroad, at venues including the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, KQED Live, Lollapalooza, the Manila FlipTop Festival, the National Museum of African American History and Culture, SF/Oakland Pride, and SXSW.
I am the youngest daughter of six children born to Vietnamese refugees, born in Rhode Island, raised in Gardena, California, and now rooted in Oakland with my partner and our two young sons. These experiences of migration, music, and movement continue to shape how I understand belonging and the ongoing work of building more equitable systems of care.
About my previous work
I bring more than 15 years of experience in program design, strategy, and capacity building across health and social care systems in the nonprofit and public sectors throughout the Bay Area.
Before transitioning into consulting, my work centered on launching and leading statewide grantmaking initiatives and learning collaboratives that supported safety net clinics and hospitals in improving health and social outcomes. This included coaching and building capabilities in human-centered design to grow a network of frontline change catalysts; establishing and facilitating innovation hubs to test and scale digital health solutions in under-resourced care and community settings; and developing strategies and resources to integrate prevention and equity into policies and practices addressing the social and structural determinants of health.
In other management and advisory roles, I have partnered with healthcare providers, educational institutions, and government agencies on strategic planning and evaluation initiatives aimed at improving clinical quality outcomes for individuals with chronic care and complex health needs, assessing the impact of community health initiatives that promote healthy eating and active living, and developing district-wide, full-service community school strategies to advance equity in student achievement, health, and well-being.
I hold a joint Master of Public Health in health policy and management and Master of City Planning in housing, community, and economic development from UC Berkeley.
