hiiiii,

i’m a bilingual multimedia creative—a journalist, creative producer, and editor (can’t help but have my hand in several honey pots). not too long ago, i developed, directed and co-hosted an original cultural food pilot at jubilee media, a genz/millennial-obsessed video company with over 8 million youtube subscribers. i was an associate producer on wired’s video team, you know, the science and tech brand [that does all the celebrity autocomplete interviews that somehow shows up on your feed]. i’ve worked with the new york times, producing a follow-up visual piece on ballroom dancegoers reeling in the wake of the monterey park shooting. i’ve also teamed up with leading online creators and brands as an editor and producer. now, i am the social video producer at SFGATE (the largest free media site on the West Coast) and host my own podcast hAAPI hour focused on uplifting AAPI talent (featured on asian boss girl recently woooo). i like to do a lot of different things.

as a lover of digital web content and a trained mutidisciplinary storyteller, i craft concise pitches, create news scripts, creative produce, film, and edit for both video and audio. some of my latest journalism work has been recognized by the society of professional journalists’ 2020 mark of excellence awards. i’ve been featured on british vogue, jubilee media, and voyagela. my myers-brigg is esfj (“people mastery”)—connecting with humans is kinda my strong suit.

went to film school but the digital web will always be my go-to cinema \_(ツ)_/.

love u,

melissa
