I am the owner and very first Pocket Partner. In the midst of all the data-driven algorithms and analytics involved in small business and digital marketing, I am an artist and storyteller at heart.

So how did I get into this crazy world of helping small businesses? Well, my first high school t-shirt business venture, BABY♡DOLL. was a flop. I got my first real taste of entrepreneurship when I started 愛Ichigo Latte Made & Butler Cafe. Working with a team of eclectic, talented individuals who helped me create a brand from the ground up for almost 3 years, it became my pride and joy. Alas, we all went to college and collectively made the decision to disband. After initially going for a 6 year Doctor of Pharmacy degree at the University of the Sciences, I spent most of my days fuming over chemistry equations and drug interactions although my heart had always belonged to creating art, music, films, and telling stories.

I am the Head of Business Development for My Pocket Partner. For the last 4 years, I have dedicated my time in corporate logistics with one of the world’s largest retail companies and building start-up facilities from the bottom-up. After having a taste of the corporate world, I’m determined to create something of great value that will allow me to choose how and when I want to work.

I pride myself on my abilities in leadership, strategy, team-building, and producing data-driven results while creating strong organizational infrastructures. Critical thinking and problem-solving are my favorite aspects of business development. My determination in seeing something through from start to finish is unrivaled.

Additionally, I have pursued a variety of small business ventures with the founder of My Pocket Partner. Since I have a heavy interest in the digital and electronic arts, I hope to pursue my passion of becoming a voiceover artist and taking on a larger role in the e-Sports community. Under the name Ace0fClubs0001, I have amassed over 1 million views being involved in several animation/video game voiceover collaborations, and have been included as a top finalist in local East Coast Tekken tournaments.

I graduated from the University of Pittsburgh in 2018 and have been building my career in marketing ever since. After serving as the Chief Operating Officer for NXTFactor, I started my own creative marketing agency, True Blue Creatives.

I am a second-generation Filipina and grew up with conservative parents who have always wanted me to pursue a career in the medical field. Whenever I was asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, I would always confidently answer with “I want to be an artist!”

Born and raised in San Francisco, I am a third generation Chinese American. I am an illustrator, comic artist, and educator.

As a descendent of a paper daughter, doctor, grocery store owner, and librarian, my life work centers around Asian American narratives, moments, and spaces. My comic web series, GenerAsian, has been exhibited at SF Zinefest, Kearny Street Workshop, and Chinese Historical Society of America. My creative platform, This Asian American Life (TAAL) gives voice to history, community, and collaboration. Currently, I teach Asian American Studies at San Francisco State University and City College of San Francisco.

As a late bloomer to the smartphone generation and fan of the show, Black Mirror, I am been particularly interested in social media and its impact to create strong relationships. I’ve worked on Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn for accounts such as TAAL and Niobe Clothing, focusing primarily on organic growth, user engagement, and community building. I am thrilled to be part of the My Pocket Partner family and look forward to working with you!
