Hi, I’m Ivy!

I’m a location-independent entrepreneur living and slow traveling to different startup and cultural hubs. I believe we have so much to learn from seeing a new place with fresh eyes so I move to a new city every 1-2 months ✈️

I care deeply about advancing education and entrepreneurship. I’m the founder & CEO of Prequel💡 building life skill programs for kids 9-17, and Asian Wander Women 🗺️, a community & media company connecting Asian women who want to live unconventional lives.

Every week, I write a newsletter on the coolest observations, learnings, and insights from my nomad travels and work. If you’d like to explore these ideas with me, subscribe below or read it first! I promise to keep it simple and interesting.

💻Break Into Tech: a course helping non-technical people break into tech companies.

I was laid off 2x in my first year out of school and job hunt in Silicon Valley with no technical degree, no network, and no work experience. After my medium article on job searching in SF went viral, I started career coaching. I helped dozens of new grads and early-stage non-tech professionals land jobs in tech.
