I’m a freelance writer and editor living in the San Francisco Bay Area. My decade-plus-long journalism career included stints as the Editor-in-Chief, Co-Editor, and Managing Editor of the East Bay Express in Oakland and the Managing Editor of The Stranger in Seattle. My byline has also appeared in The Nation, the San Francisco Chronicle, SF Weekly, Bay Nature, Alta Journal, High Country News, and KoreAm Journal. I’ve won awards from the Association of Alternative Newsmedia, the Society of Professional Journalists' Northern California chapter, the Los Angeles Press Club, and the San Francisco Peninsula Press Club. Most recently, I served as the Director of Communications for Women Cross DMZ, a nonprofit that advocates for a peace-first approach to the security crisis on the Korean Peninsula.
