Hi, I'm Alex Tan, a 29-year-old transgender person with roots in Seoul, South Korea. I moved to Portland, Oregon, a few years ago and quickly found a place in this inclusive and vibrant community. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Journalism from Stanford University, and my work focuses on stories that amplify marginalized voices, celebrate diversity, and challenge societal norms. Outside of journalism, I have a passion for street art, exploring Portland's rich food scene, and advocating for LGBTQ+ rights. When I'm not writing, you can find me biking through the city's scenic trails, attending local art shows, or volunteering at community centers. The dynamic and welcoming nature of Portland continually fuels my passion for storytelling and social justice.
