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.

DEI
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.

Research
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.

Community Engagement
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.

Research
As a Community Engagement Coordinator, I enjoy helping clients understand the needs and desires of the communities impacted by their work. I spend much of my time interacting with the public in both English and Spanish, so that their voices and experiences can be brought back to our clients. This work at PRR allows me to see the influence that the input of local communities can have on projects and decisions, and it is rewarding to see how their involvement causes positive impact to their day-to-day lives. In the past, I have worked and volunteered at local medical clinics to help with Spanish-English interpretation and translation, and I look forward to getting back into this volunteer work in the near future. When not working, I enjoy spending my time with friends or doing anything and everything music related, whether listening to something new, playing random songs in my room alone, or practicing and playing shows with the band I’m in.

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.”
