Through dance, storytelling, and mindful reflection, my work explores what it means to pursue your dreams without abandoning yourself in the process.

A Chinese-Filipino NYC-based professional dance artist, content creator, and podcast host who graduated from Fordham University with a bachelor’s degree in New Media and Digital Design in 2021. Growing up as a dancer, I have always loved telling stories through movement, visuals, and honest reflection.

My work lives at the intersection of dance, storytelling,  and creative self-discovery. As a performer, I move between classical ballet, heels, and commercial dance, bringing both technical training and emotional depth into the work.

My journey as an artist has also led me to create The Integrated Dancer, a program for young dancers designed to help them channel their emotions into their training and artistry instead of leaving parts of themselves at the door.

Alongside my work in dance, I create digital content and host Matcha Mornings with Diane, a podcast and YouTube channel where I reflect on creativity, life in NYC, mindfulness, identity, and the messy, beautiful process of becoming. My work and story have also been featured in Dance Magazine and BroadwayWorld.

I’m drawn to stories and spaces that remind artists they are more than what they achieve. I deeply value creative collaboration, emotional honesty, and building communities where people feel safe to be fully human while pursuing what they love.

My spare time pleasures include making my own cup of matcha, dining around the city with friends and capturing these food experiences, scrolling through endless videos of dogs and cats, and rewatching my favorite comedic TV series: FRIENDS and The Nanny while drinking a can of OLIPOP Vintage Cola.
