She/Her
Irene applies her communications, public relations, and social media expertise to be a part of meaningful change at Women Transforming Cities. Her work history includes municipal governments and women of colour wellness summits. She has a B.A. in English Literature and Classical Studies from UBC and a Public Relations certificate from SFU.
Her path as a yoga student and teacher was what led her into the online space of anti-racist and intersectional feminist movements. As she learned from Indigenous, Black, and women of colour on social issues related to health equity and cultural respect, she became motivated to use her communications skills to serve women and non-binary people of colour.
Born in Taiwan, she is of Han/Hakka ancestry. She lives and works on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded land of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), Sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh), and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) Nations.
