About Tiff
As a recovering perfectionist and people-pleaser, I know how hard it can be to trust yourself and boldly share your voice, in a world that often drowns it out.
But because of my own story, I also know it’s possible.
As the quiet daughter of separated Taiwanese immigrants, I grew up in a household filled with sadness and anger, with a single mom and an older sister doing their best amidst the chaos.
From a young age, I learned to suppress my own needs to care for others, believing that following cultural expectations and societal pressures would someday prove my worth.
These experiences shaped my path, from studying psychology and science at UCLA to spending over 7 years in the corporate world — including consulting and working at Grammarly, a communication start-up that grew into a multi-billion-dollar company.
Throughout this time, advocacy, community, and personal wellness remained central to who I am.
In social impact spaces, I advocated for others, including the homeless population and survivors of sexual assault. But it took me years to realize that, much like in my childhood, I hadn’t been advocating for myself.
After much reflection and experimentation, I left my 6-figure career to follow my passion for working deeply with others and supporting their growth in a meaningful way.
Now, as a Certified Life Coach trained through an International Coaching Federation (ICF)-accredited program, I support others in amplifying their inner voice, boldly advocating for their needs, and creating lives they truly love. I continue to grow as both a coach and a person through an immersive 1-year training program.
Outside of coaching, I love all forms of storytelling — writing, reading, and watching stand-up comedy. As a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), I prioritize my peace through daily meditation, running, and yoga. I’ve called Brooklyn, New York, home for 4 years, and enjoy visiting family and friends in California.
