  • Episode 3: Asians in Nontraditional Careers (with Jonathan Hsu)

    Lawyer. Doctor. Engineer. Accountant. Are these the Big 4 career options in the eyes of our Asian immigrant parents? Today's episode features Jonathan Hsu, a freelance dancer and dance photographer who hosts the "Still In Motion" podcast! Jonathan is my go-to when it comes to anything technology, dance, or photography related. His work is fantastic, so make sure you check it out! Join us in this discussion about our experiences of being Asian in a nontraditional career. We explore how we got here, our parents' reactions, role models in our industry, and where we see ourselves in 5 years in these nontraditional roles. We've come a long way in normalizing career options, but we still have a long way to go!

  • Episode 2: All the Crocs in the Club (with Angelina Bingei)

    All the crocs in the club, drop it like it's hotttt. Introducing my ultimate hype woman who's down (low) for anything, Ange Bean (aka Angelina Bingei)! Aside from brunch and boxing, we vibe on dancing and 90s music. Join us as we reminisce about our nightlife experiences in the DMV area pre-COVID and our best/worst memories, which often included tequila, Crocs, and McDonald's french fries. Do we think that clubbing and nightlife are a necessary part of living it up in your early to mid-20's? Put on your crocs, turn on some Snoop Dogg tracks, grab some Kombucha, and listen to find out!

    It's finally here - the first episode of the "Let's Get Candid" podcast! A special guest will join each following episode to share perspectives on an exciting and relevant topic. Today's episode is about my transition from a career as an auditor in a Big Four accounting firm to an event planner in higher education and all the ups and downs in between. My career switch is a topic that I've gotten many questions about in the past few years. I'll share some lessons that I've learned about career switches from my own mistakes and my mentors' wisdom (shoutouts included!). If you're feeling stuck in your current career path or don't know what exactly you want to do in the future, may this sharing be valuable to you!
