I graduated from DePaul University with a BFA in Film & TV and have been working professionally within the film industry as a Production Designer for the past 4 years. In my post-grad life, I've been learning graphic and UX design to broaden my creativity. I've spoken with student journalists about my experience with K-pop and have taken college courses on its impact and the globalization of the industry.

In 2020, after Chicago lifted the lockdown, I began attending BTS cupsleeve events. During this time, my friend (Jay) and I noticed that there was an absence of events for our other favorite groups such as SEVENTEEN. Together we organized and hosted our first cupsleeve for SEVENTEEN's Jun and Hoshi on June 12 - 13, 2021. Since then, Jay and I have collaborated on several cupsleeves for SEVENTEEN and ATEEZ and co-created Sidetrack's bi-monthly "All Things K-pop Night."
