Making healthcare equitable for families like mine

About me

Daughter of immigrants. Healthcare & impact investor turned founder.1 in 5 Americans speak a language other than English at home, yet there are still huge gaps in how these individuals can access care. I've seen these challenges in my own family and the community I grew up in.I founded LingoHealth to ensure families like mine can have peace of mind when accessing healthcare, especially as our loved ones age. We're building the first culturally inclusive care platform for seniors and family caregivers. Our startup is backed by Precursor Ventures, January Ventures, and angels from leading digital health companies like GoodRx and Favor (fka The Pill Club).I've presented on health equity at numerous panels and am part of the White House’s Health Equity Leaders Roundtable to advise the federal government on tech to advance health equity.

Prior to founding LingoHealth, I invested in healthcare companies caring for historically underserved patient populations, including the LGBTQ+ community, communities of color, and seniors.I'm a proud Taiwanese American and fluent in Mandarin Chinese. I graduated from the Stanford Graduate School of Business and Harvard University.
