Kosas

Right after I signed with Star Touch, I booked the first modeling go-see I went out on… for one of my favorite makeup brands, Kosas! They’re known for their clean, skincare friendly makeup formulas. This shoot was for new shades of their famous Revealer Concealer. (I’m the hand closest to the top!)

I absolutely loved the vibe of the headquarters, creative team, and other models during the shoot. The feeling must have been mutual, because a few months later, they requested me for two more direct bookings - this time for their new line of blushes and eyeliners!

Starbucks

My bucket list goals are getting checked off - I booked a hand modeling shoot for the Starbucks fall campaign! Like every teenage girl, I grew up loving my pumpkin spice lattes, but I never imagined that I’d get paid to hold one. Iconic.

Check out the other shots in my portfolio and on their social media, and be sure to try their PSL and Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew before the season ends!

Los Angeles, CA

We moved to the City of Angels! Soon, I’ll be getting new headshots, taking classes, and looking for representation across the board. But for now, I’m taking time to explore the neighborhoods and learn the lay of the land.

So far, it’s been a great fit. The food, shopping, and weather are phenomenal, of course, and I appreciate how much potential there is for creatives to collaborate in LA. Everything is so accessible - as long as you can beat the traffic there.

Blindfold

I traveled to Coeur d’Alene, ID and Spokane, WA to shoot a lead role in a feature film. Blindfold is a dystopian, sci-fi love story directed by Misty Shipman. The movie will be premiering at film festivals and available to stream on Amazon Prime.

Verizon Visible

In college, I decided that I would one day become a hand model. An unconventional career choice, and not one that most parents encourage, but alright. Fast forward a few years later, and here I am, working with Verizon Visible as a hand model! We’re making big (Visi)bucks.

HEAD OVER HEELS REVIEWS

Head Over Heels, a jukebox musical with songs by The Go-Go’s, is making its debut in Seattle at ArtsWest after a run on Broadway. If you’re skeptical about how innovative or insightful jukebox musicals can be, let this one change your mind.

“Oh, this cast! First and foremost, I need to mention the ensemble. There are leads in a show and there are ensemble. And then there are ensemble who barely ever leave stage and are working harder than the leads and that's the case here. Truly a blast to watch!” -Broadway World

Awards season is coming up, starting with the largest annual ceremony for live theatre in Seattle. I’ve been nominated for a People’s Choice Award, and some incredibly gracious comments about The White Snake have been submitted by anonymous Gregory Awards Nominators:

White Snake Reviews

The White Snake is in its final weekend of performances, and both children and critics alike have been enchanted by its myth and magic. One reviewer even goes so far as to say she left the theatre “feeling like [she] had been born again.” Don’t miss your final opportunity to catch this dazzling production!

“Yena Han’s character of Greenie stole the show every time she was onstage. She was funny and cunning, the perfect best friend and sidekick who saves the day whenever necessary, landing her jokes with every beat, and supporting Lady Bai and Xu Xian until the very end.” -KXSU

Read the full KXSU review here.

“Alternately funny and pugnacious (sometimes both), her facial expressions and comic timing alone are worth the price of admission, holding the fuzzy fairy-tale logic of the plot together.” -The Seattle Times

The White Snake

The White Snake by Mary Zimmerman is making its Seattle debut at 12th Avenue Arts. After a successful run at Oregon Shakespeare Festival and the Old Globe, ReAct Theatre is excited to bring this gorgeous Chinese fairytale to the Pacific Northwest. Directed by David Hsieh, this show features an all-Asian cast for the first time in the history of this production.

I’ll be playing Green Snake, White Snake’s sassy companion. The show is kid-friendly, but adults will also resonate with its existential themes, as well as grappling with the challenge of revealing one’s true self in a new relationship.
