About Me

Recent update in 2018

You know. If you are reading this profile. I have to tell you that everything is very different from what I planed for myself. Now I am working in electrical car marketing ( if you ask me, I will never expect my life and journey will be like this. Left media and entertainment studio after several years , but yea, I am now doing lots of car and retail marketing. I find it very challenging and interesting )

So yes. I didn’t go on the route I want — film or theatre, but neither media entertainment. I worked in Sony pictures for years then changed to EV cars field since 2018. But of course, I still love those cultural things and activities. Even I am in the capitalism cooperation, I will never give up my knowledge in those theories and analysis.

After several years in crazily busy cooperate life I am trying to maintaining the passion I was having and gaining back those excitement of making connection to ppl and outside world.

LGBTQ welcome for sure.

Don’t be inhospitable to the strangers, lest they be angels in disguise.
