I have officially put my hat in the ring for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Search 2019!

I would love to join the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit family and all the amazing things they stand for - diversity, inclusion and women empowerment.

I have always tried to push myself to be the best I can be and to break barriers and stereotypes.  For example, I feel that I bring beauty and brains, earning my MBA at 22 years old, I was one of the youngest, if not the youngest in my graduating class, and currently work at a Fortune 50 company. In addition to doing this, I also won the title of Miss NY despite being asian and petite, which is not the typical standard.

I hope that by joining the rookie class this year I can encourage other women believe in themselves.  You can do anything you set your mind to and not to be afraid to take a risk and go for your dreams!

Keep your fingers crossed for me!
