Random facts about me:

1. If I laugh hard enough, I literally cry. Basically the living embodiment of the 😂 emoji. Discovered this “talent” in the 6th grade, and it hasn’t stopped since.
2. I’m an introvert at heart, but I love chatting about anything and hearing all kinds of perspectives. Also fond of one too many dad jokes and puns and will find every opportunity to crack one.
3. As a chatterbox, I love languages and the community and connection they give to people from all different backgrounds. But I am a master of none (#trylingual): 🇨🇳 🇯🇵 🇪🇸 🇭🇰 🇹🇭 🇰🇷
4. Grocery stores and farmers markets are probably my version of Disneyland. I love browsing grocery ads, clipping grocery coupons, and browsing up and down aisles.
5. Despite a very strong patriarchy in Asian culture, I actually carry have my paternal grandmother’s last name, not my grandfather’s.
6. I found my first white hair when I was 13… :’(
7. I didn’t drink alcohol until I turned 21 (out of my own volition).
8. I’ve never been to a wedding, but I’ve been to two funerals.
