Event planner, Explorer, Foodie, Philanthropist, World traveler

I advise families on charitable planning and impact investing with philanthropic capital. My expertise is working with donors to get to yes on multi-million dollar grants and investments for social good and knowing when it should be a no. I guide donors to be more flexible in their terms, more generous in their giving and more risk tolerant with impact first investments. Originally from Hong Kong, grew up in Boston and live/worked in DC, London, Durban, Hyderabad, Beijing, LA, Seattle and Chicago.

Generosity is a practice and a muscle that needs to be exercised.
