Artistic Statement
I’m a work-in-progress funny person trying to write funny things about a world that often feels like it hates human beings. I’m a comedy writer and playwright who believes in laughter as a survival tactic.
I’m drawn to stories about women—mothers, daughters, sisters—and people who are trying really hard to be their best selves… and failing spectacularly. (I swear I’m an optimist.) I write about families, about worlds colliding, and about moments that are so absurdly human they make you laugh so hard you might pee a little—and not just because of a weak pelvic floor. (Ladies, you know what I mean.)
I love comedy, the supernatural, the paranormal, and everything in between. I grew up on a TV diet of Are You Afraid of the Dark?, So Weird, The X-Files, Unsolved Mysteries, and every Adam Sandler movie ever made—so yeah, weird and mysterious with a side of slapstick is my sweet spot.
My work explores what it means to grow up poor in a working-class immigrant family, to navigate the world as an Asian American woman, and to find resilience and defiance through laughter—even in tragedy. Comedy, for me, is both an artistic choice and a form of resistance.
Is this how an artistic statement is supposed to work? If it's about showing up with honesty, humor, and heart—then I think I nailed it.
