TTRPG Info
I have been playing various tabletop games since 2014. I have run multiple livestreamed one-shots and am excited to be part of more long-term content in the future.I'm in two 5e home games where we've asked fun questions like "Do giraffes exist?" and "What's the worst that could happen?"I have also played Pathfinder, Paranoia, Here There Be Monsters, DIE: The Roleplaying Game, Kids on Bikes, Werewolf the Apocalypse, Mage the Ascension, Vampire the Masquerade, and multiple PBTA games.
Current Projects
I am developing Unsealed, a TTRPG where the participants fight to be victorious in the Philosopher's War by summoning the spirits of legendary figures of old.My other projects include:
- Where Do Mothers Live?, a two player game about diaspora, family, and hope.

Writing
I enjoy writing about queerness, diaspora, family, and people being happy. I like to do this by making them endure being a little miserable first.I'm currently looking to produce my first play. Baby Shoes is about Ruth and Elena's journey to adopt their first child. They struggle with the question that plagues all to-be parents: will they be enough?

About
Born in China and adopted as a baby, I spent my first years in New York before moving to Arizona, where I developed a healthy respect for mountains and cacti. I made my escape to California where I got my B.A. in theater with a focus in script writing.I find inspiration in my experiences as a queer adoptee. I strive to bring a breath of fresh air to the stage, whether it's a digital tabletop game or a full theater.When I'm not working on my next project, I'm probably cooing over my pets, dying in FFXIV, or playing D&D with my friends.
