About Me

I’m a decades long nonprofit executive and community organizer. Currently, I serve as the Director of Organizing for Abundant Housing LA, advocating and overseeing a network of over a dozen chapters. Previous to that, I have decades of experience in nonprofit management, fundraising, and board development. I was also a former candidate for the California State Assembly, running a clean money grassroots campaign.

I have my Master's degree from Georgetown University and a Bachelor's degree from the University of Michigan. I speak Korean, Russian, and Spanish. I’m a resident of Koreatown and live with my husband and doggy, Wilshire.
