I am incredibly honored to be named a listee in the Marquis Who's Who directory for 2026. Marquis Who's Who recognizes accomplished individuals who have made profound impacts in their respective fields.

I was just 15 years old when Steve Jobs described Apple as existing at the "crossroads of liberal arts and technology." I had no idea then how deeply those words would shape my professional philosophy.

I ask myself: What is the point of artificial intelligence, smartphones, and autonomous vehicles if not to better our quality of life? And what is the point of this innovation if it is only accessible to the English-speaking world?

These questions have guided me as I’ve navigated the tech industry. I recognize the role luck has played in my journey—being born in California into a multilingual family that pushed me to be inquisitive about the world.

Today, I stand at that intersection of humanities and technology. I am proud to serve as a Board Member for the Escondido History Center while working in Developer Relations at Google Cloud. I also continue to challenge myself as a proud polyglot, currently undertaking Mandarin Chinese at my local community college. As I look to the future, my goal is to continue blending these worlds to build intuitive, beautiful products.

I am grateful for this recognition and the opportunity to lead with a unique approach: utilizing AI to empower my team to dream, build, and leave the world better than we found it.
