Operations
I was born and raised in Atlanta, GA by parents who believe, more than anything, in charting your own path. My mom is an immigrant from Taiwan and my dad has lived in all 4 corners of the US, Spain, and probably spied for our country in the USSR (he won’t admit it but what else does an “exchange student” do there in 1978?).
Naturally, as soon as my parents let me, I also left my hometown and made my way out west to UC-Berkeley for college and fell in love with the west coast where I lived for over a decade before moving to New York City where I’m now based.
I started my career in advertising where I worked on campaigns promoting movies and TV shows, and later app marketing programs for mobile-first tech companies. I then joined the startup world at Instacart, and later The Information where I worked on building and scaling customer growth programs. Most recently I worked at Upstart where I led the digital performance marketing program.
After my last role, I took some time off for extended travel (🇹🇷🇮🇪🏴🇩🇪🇮🇹🇩🇰🏴) and to reflect on what I wanted to do next. I realized I do my very best work when I’m:
I am so grateful to have landed at Fay where all of these things are deeply engrained in our culture and the work we do every day.
Outside work, I like to travel (30 countries and counting), watch sports (mostly football and fútbol), explore new restaurants in NY, play tennis, and ski.
