About Me

During the pandemic I was a guest on a few different podcasts. The overall theme of said podcasts ranged from conversations about U.S. higher education to film and media to family and adoption. I have a professional setup and my own podcast discussing the social identities within Disney media and its overall lack of diverse representation. My one brag about my podcast is getting to interview the voice actor who played Jafar from Disney’s Aladdin movie.

I am a university academic adviser (previously advised business and healthcare students now advise engineering and computer science students) and mother to 2 kids. I’m also a transracial adoptee and open to conversations about everything. Honestly I’m always talking about my students and my kids and it’s nice to change the topic every now and then.

I love talking about Disney villains (hence my own podcast). I did my masters degree thesis on Disney villains, feel free to ask me about it!

Topics to talk about:

  • Media related: Disney (animated or live action), Marvel (TV and film], DC [TV and film], popular movie franchises like Harry Potter/Twilight/Hunger Games/Maze Runner/etc.
  • Society and Culture: Social identities (i.e., gender, race, mental health, intersecting identities, etc.] - both experiences and representation in media
  • Family: Adoption and family relationships, parenting/birth and postpartum stories, raising Asian American children in the U.S. today, raising children during a pandemic, etc.
  • Education: U.S. K-12 education, U.S. higher education (both community college and university], Running Start vs AP/IB/etc. options in high school, pursuing STEM and/or healthcare education, college resources and finances (i.e. Financial Aid, counseling, dorm living, etc.]
