Thank you Missouri S&T for the feature! I’m so excited so represent the students and residents of my ward. What a privilege to be able to receive a stellar education right here in Rolla 💚

Thank you Rolla Parks & Recreation Department for putting on this fun event for our canine friends yesterday! Winston and I had a blast meeting all the dogs and making crafts. Looking forward to more of these dog park events in the future 🐾🦴

I had a great time yesterday walking Rolla’s annual arts and crafts fair downtown! I’m always amazed with how creative our community is. From handmade quilts to wood carved dishes to fresh baked sourdough, I came home with many goodies!

It was great seeing my friends from Phelps County Walk to End Alzheimer's and their booth setup. And of course we had to end the day with amazing eats from Space Boys Tacos and SpellboundSips 😋🍋🌮
Already looking forward to next year’s!

Last week I had the opportunity to attend the ribbon cutting ceremony for the new Missouri S&T protoplex!! What an amazing building to have on our campus, this will be big for the next generation of engineers!

I found the large 3D printers to be super interesting, and it was a pleasure getting to catch up with coworkers and other newly elected officials. I can’t wait to see more of what plans our University brings to life.

We did it!! 🎉🥳 My sincerest gratitude to the people of Rolla, I am incredibly honored to share that I’ve been elected as City Councilwoman. Not only will I be the first Asian-American to serve on the city’s council, but Ward 6 received more votes last night than both candidates combined last year! I look forward to listening, learning, and working alongside fellow council members and residents to support a strong future for our city.

Thank you to everyone who supported me along the way—I definitely could not have done it without you all! Your belief in me means the world 😊
