archive profession. She was an intern for Project SAVE: The Armenian

Wong is currently pursuing a Ph.D. at UCLA in Information Studies. She

collecting, preserving and disseminating historical and cultural
records in Asian American communities and archives in the Asian
Diaspora. She comes to the profession as a filmmaker who
created a film in 2005 about her grandmother from Malaysia titled,
"Homecoming." It spurred her interest in documenting
underrepresented communities. She recently was the Project Director

Angeles.
Congratulations to Miranda and Vivian.
