Hello! My name is Bea (they/them). I'm a second-generation Vietnamese American, a member of Generation Z (2001!), and a recent college graduate from Stanford University with a degree in Comparative Literature and a minor in Creative Writing.
For the last few years, I've had the pleasure of working in several literary and arts spaces, including the Asian American Writers' Workshop, Writing Atlas, and the Creative Writing Program and Comparative Literature Department at Stanford University. Currently, I work at Poets & Writers and am a forthcoming intern at BOMB.
In many of the places I've worked, I've had specific roles as a proofreader, copyeditor, production editor, and fiction editor. As of now, I'm currently based in Minnesota, where I grew up.
General interests
[edit]Right now, my current interests on Wikipedia are copyediting and contributing to pages involving Asian and Asian American literature, as well as K-pop and broader twenty-first-century Korean pop culture. In particular, I'm a huge fan of NewJeans, Le Sserafim, and Aespa, and I hope to regularly update those pages as their careers continue. I'm also a part of the WikiPortraits project.
Additionally, I've been trying to learn Japanese both for real-world purposes as well as for the sake of eventually reading Japanese literature in the original. For now, however, I'm using my grasp of the language to work on and research articles that may benefit from a bilingual perspective, specifically articles regarding Japanese books translated to English. I also spent about a year learning Korean, a language which I now solely use on Wikipedia for the same purpose.
I've only been an editor on Wikipedia since early 2024, which means I presumably have a lot to learn! Please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page if there's something that I'm doing wrong or if there's a better way for me to be doing something.
Asian and Asian American literature

As part of my goal to expand Asian and Asian American literature on Wikipedia, here are the book pages I've created so far toward that end. (Author pages I created are denoted with a *.)
