Other Initiatives

I am driven to use my voice to make meaningful change in the world — through singing or otherwise. Here’s my professional work off the stage:

Founder, Executive Director

Park City Opera is a non-profit dedicated to bringing live opera performance to Park City, Utah. In harmony with the breathtaking natural landscape of Park City, we are reinvigorating a centuries-old art form by reimagining the concert experience and presenting performances in unconventional venues.
Upcoming: Our Fall and Winter Concert Series is in full swing, with events occurring November - March.
Check out our recent Summer 2025 Season Announcement, covered in the Park Record. We look forward to our inaugural production: Rossini’s Il barbiere di Siviglia.
Past: Check out our Summer 2024 Concert Series, which features more than a dozen events designed for both the first-time opera-goer and the seasoned opera lover alike — we hope to see you this summer around town!

Director

I am the co-director of the Hot Air Music Festival, hosted annually at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music.
Hot Air Music Festival is a celebration of contemporary and expansive classical music from the last 50 years that provides young composers and performers the opportunity to present new works. We strengthen the new music community in the Bay Area with an emphasis on premiering new works and multimedia collaborations.

Co-Founder

In 2019, I co-founded Overdose Guardian with Dr. Minhee Sung (Instructor, Yale School of Medicine). Overdose Guardian is a medical device startup creating wearable opioid overdose detection.
We use biomarker sensors and a machine learning suite to rapidly connect someone experiencing overdose to emergency services. Our safety tool works in tandem with harm reduction and addiction treatment to promote long-term recovery.
Our team is committed to creating comprehensive solutions for individuals and their loved ones affected by substance use disorders.
We’ve been awarded 75k in non-dilutive funding from the NIH National Institute on Drug Abuse, VentureWell, Verizon, the Clinton Global Initiative, Yale Tsai City, and Innovate Health Yale.
I presented at the Yale School of Medicine Grand Rounds and the American Academy of Pain Medicine, and served as a fellow for Yale Innovation to Impact (NIH partnership).

Since its founding in 2017, I have worked with the Gynecologic Cancers Research Foundation to develop cost-effective strategies based on new biotechnologies to screen for cervical pre-cancers. I have personally assisted with data collection, organization, and lab processes on brigades in Cambodia, Peru, and China where more than 10,000 women in underserved communities were screened and treated for cervical pre-cancers.
I am an author on seven peer-reviewed publications published in The Journal of Women’s Health, BMJ Open, The Journal of Lower Genital Tract Disease, Infectious Agents and Cancer, Sexual Medicine Reviews, and The Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention. I gave a poster presentation at the American Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology and a podium address at the International Society for the Study of Women’s Sexual Health.
