I use translation and transcreation processes to adapt messages into Spanish. By making information available to our Limited English Proficiency (LEP) populations in their native language, we are creating a more inclusive society. In this sense, being a language specialist at PRR allows me to fulfill my passion for serving my community. Some of my previous volunteer work includes participating in Casa Latina’s Day Worker Center (DWC) arranging work placement opportunities for Latina/o immigrants; doing design work for Community To Community, an immigrant rights organization; and interpreting at the annual Seattle/King County Free Clinic. In my free time, I like hiking, traveling and taking trips up to Bellingham to visit family. I also like exploring new restaurants here in town and leaving—mainly good—reviews.

Through my role as a Senior Community Engagement Specialist, I strive to center humanity in all our work. I bring a background in anti-racist practices, applying a racial equity lens to engagement frameworks and building connections between unlikely partners. I love that PRR culture includes a growth-mindset, which means my colleagues join me in introspection and learning every day. My work in the community extends to the performing arts and aiding in mother’s lifelong support of those suffering PTSD in the decades since the Balkan War. At home, I love reading fantasy novels and hanging out with my two cats and wonderful husband. If I’m not being a hermit, I’m out on the town with my queer community, my punk family, or my wonderful and vast array of friends.

I work by the motto: do it all to learn it all. This makes me a jack-of-all-trades in practice, though the best part of my job is coming up with creative new ways to engage the public. My role is enhanced through collaboration with my PRR colleagues, who inspire me to be more creative and think further outside the box. Outside the office, I love to hang out with my adopted Husky puppy, Swayze, or get my sweat on at a yoga or crossfit class.

My first love in communications was food and nutrition work. Through my work at PRR, I broadened that focus to healthcare and other strategic communications work that can contribute to more equitable communities. Today, I also guide our client services, creative studio, and market development teams to make it meaningful in everything they do. I am very honored to have a place on PRWeek’s national “40 Under 40″ list (not saying which year!). I am also Past President of the Atlantic Street Center’s Board of Directors and proud former foster parent for cats at PAWS (I only kept two – Guillermo and Barack – as well as a pup named Quincy!).

I help clients meaningfully communicate, engage, and collaborate with the communities they serve. PRR allows me to position for and support this community-focused work, with a great and open culture. Outside of my day-to-day work, I'm proud of my contributions to the design and administration of STEM curricula to local high schoolers. I also enjoy reading, hiking, yoga, and participating in my son’s school and sports activities.

As a Community Engagement Specialist, I evoke my urban planning and public policy background to understand and build relationships with communities served by our clients. I grew up in a tight-knit Seattle community and am passionate about uplifting voices historically overlooked in government planning and decision-making processes. PRR allows me to collaborate and problem-solve with a passionate team on projects that address intersecting issues in our region. As a consistent “jack of all trades, master of none,” I love discovering new activities to try. You will often find me experimenting in the kitchen, singing with friends, playing ultimate frisbee, reading an enjoyable book, playing board games, writing creative novels, or planning a future traveling adventure!

My work at PRR centers connecting people with opportunities to engage on projects and planning efforts that touch or affect their communities. Working at PRR allows me to collaborate and problem solve with my coworkers, gaining a new perspective on every project. In the past, my work centered on diversity, equity, and inclusion with and engaging voters. Outside the office I love the outdoors, whether I’m hiking, camping, running, or embracing Seattle’s rainy weather.

Community Engagement
When it comes to community engagement, I like to consider myself a jack of all trades. Whether you need a well-organized tabling event, a sleek engagement website, or a community partner liaison, I’m here to deliver with a positive attitude and an eye on equity. I work at PRR because I know it’s important to raise the voices of community members to the people and organizations who make the decisions in their community – and whenever possible, to share that power. Outside of work, I enjoy volunteering at the Downtown Emergency Services Center, where I help with public health research and lead a photography group to help community members experiencing homelessness tell their stories. More often, you’ll find me riding the bus or biking to discover something new in town, dreaming up some new art project, or just reading a good book.

Projects related to the environment, health and wellbeing, and public transportation are all part of the puzzle I enjoy solving with the rest of the research team, learning new things along the way and engaging with colleagues and diverse participants in authentic connections. I am a first-generation immigrant from China and pursued my PhD in Neuroscience and Behavior from the University of Georgia. During my doctoral research, I also went to rural Brazil for five field seasons and studied wild capuchin monkeys to understand the evolutionary origins of human tool use. I held tenure track faculty positions in UNC Pembroke and SUNY Oswego before moving to Seattle and decided to take a break from my career to focus on my two young children and motherhood. After a six-year pause, I enthusiastically re-entered the workforce ready to put my research skills into meaningful work. This is where I found PRR. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my husband and kids, cooking/baking/fermenting, learning to garden and vermicompost, running rain or shine, co-directing a small (100% outdoors year-round) forest school for kids, and listening to audiobooks and podcasts. I am also passionate about traditional cultural studies, be it ancient Chinese or ancient Greek.

I help elevate community voices, especially from those historically underrepresented communities, in the planning and implementation of large-scale infrastructure projects in the Puget Sound region. This work evokes my experience leading multi-faceted marketing campaigns and my immigrant background and upbringing. I love that PRR allows me to learn and grow alongside talented people and to get out and be present in my own community. Inspired by my heroes, I started volunteering with King County Elections in 2024. “Action is the antidote,” and I strive to be more than a backseat rider in the great American social experiment. I am also a past chorale performer, an amateur kickboxer, an expert knife sharpener, and a family man. I spend time with my family in Washington state but also across the globe in Taiwan, China, and Malaysia.

As a Community Engagement Specialist at PRR, I help bridge the gap between organizations and the communities they serve. With a background in Digital Marketing & Communication, I develop outreach initiatives, create engaging content, and amplify community voices through strategic storytelling. I love PRR’s mission-driven approach and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact through collaboration and innovation. Beyond work, I’m passionate about financial literacy, volunteering with organizations like Shepherd’s Table and Helping Up Mission. I also love exploring new places, trying different cuisines, podcasting, and networking at community and business events. I’m always seeking opportunities for professional and personal growth. In my free time, I enjoy sightseeing, visiting museums, swimming, and spending quality time with family.

As an engagement coordinator, my role is dynamic. Day to day, I support the planning and implementation of activities and events that help inform and engage people on behalf of our clients. I love that I get to serve communities through meaningful communications work. My dedication to service extends beyond PRR, including helping establish community churches in Cape Town, South Africa. Travel is my great love, and I have been to 20 countries, some of my favorites being South Africa, New Zealand, and Vietnam.

Vision statement of anti-racism.

An anti-racist PRR dismantles systems of advantage based on race when and wherever possible. We engage staff of all racial identities in dismantling white supremacy culture at work. This  includes personal ideologies, beliefs, and behaviors. And, it includes removing white supremacy culture from the systems, cultural messages, institutional policies, procedures, and practices that PRR and our staff interact with and inform. We believe it is not enough to be “not racist.” We must be “anti-racist.”
