About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Balancing work and travel bugs.

ABOUT ME

Grew up in Shanghai, China. After spending 20 plus years in that city, I decided to have a change of environment, and thus I packed up my stuff and jumped onto an airplane to U.S. for law school. Right now I am living in South Bay/San Francisco Bay Area.

PHILOSOPHY
Be open to differences.
