“Annie is perhaps the most impressive professional I have ever worked with. During my time at BYU–Hawaii, I frequently needed help to coordinate with employers and alumni in Hong Kong, and Annie always took time from her busy schedule to assist with connections, planning, and insights. Her deep and impactful involvement with the global BYU Management Society and the internationally-focused BYU–Hawaii Alumni clearly comes from her commitment to make a major difference for individuals and the larger community. I was particularly impressed that Annie continued to make time for volunteer efforts even as she advanced to the time-intensive role of Assistant Director of Public Affairs. She combines a big heart with impressive stamina, intelligent insights, and creative problem solving to serve as a powerful force for good in the world. The opportunity to work with Annie on any endeavor is the chance to gain a deeper appreciation for the major difference one truly committed individual can make.”
About
A bi-literal and multi-lingual communication professional with strong international experience in relationship building, event planning and digital communication; raised in Hong Kong and educated in the States; particularly interested in the NGO industry.
My long-term career plans involve transcending my current role – working with senior leadership of the Church, and crafting communication and public affairs strategies spanning 22 countries and territories across Asia, from Taiwan to Pakistan, from China to Timor-Leste, where political regimes are complicated and religious environments are sensitive. I want to contribute my talents and abilities in opening doors to establish and improve relationships with opinion leaders, while increasing global understanding for the Church through digital communication.
I love to travel and read - Kungfu and time-traveling stories are my favorites.
