BIO

I’m a poet whose work explores trauma and the ways it lives in the body. My work has been published or is forthcoming in Michigan Quarterly Review, swamp pink (fka Crazyhorse), Indiana Review, Sixth Finch, Los Angeles Review,  Waxwing, Gulf Coast, Passages North, Tupelo Quarterly, the Best American Poetry blog, Asian American Writers Workshop (AAWW), and others. I’ve received support from Kundiman and the Fine Arts Work Center.

Outside of writing, I work on strategy and product at a B2B startup. As an ex-management consultant, I’ve worked across a variety of functions, industries and geographies — everything from helping a Filipino coffee company improve sales to conducting due diligence on an apparel company. Originally born in Malaysia, I currently reside in NYC.
