She was consecrated on January 30, 2021, at Trinity Episcopal Cathedral in Portland and is the first Asian-American woman to become an Episcopal bishop.[2]
She was raised in Hood River, Oregon, and graduated from the University of Oregon and the Church Divinity School of the Pacific. She earned the Ph.D. in religion and social ethics from the University of Southern California in 2001.
