MEMORANDUM **
Lena Kartana, a native and citizen of Indonesia, petitions pro se for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing her appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying her application for asylum. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252 . We review for substantial evidence and will uphold the agency’s deci *666 sion unless the evidence compels a contrary conclusion. INS v. Elias-Zacarias, 502 U.S. 478 , 481 n. 1, 112 S.Ct. 812 , 117 L.Ed.2d 38 (1992). We deny the petition for review.
Substantial evidence supports the agency’s finding that the harm Kartana suffered did not rise to the level of persecution. See Nagoulko v. INS, 333 F.3d 1012, 1016-18 (9th Cir.2003). Substantial evidence also supports the agency’s finding that Kartana failed to demonstrate a well-founded fear of future persecution, see id. at 1018 , because even as a member of a disfavored group, she failed to demonstrate the requisite level of individualized risk. Cf. Sael v. Ashcroft, 386 F.3d 922, 927 (9th Cir.2004). Further, the record does not compel the conclusion that Kartana established a pattern or practice of persecution against ethnic Chinese Christians in Indonesia.…
