About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Explore and learn as much about the world as I possibly can. And to bring happiness to those that I meet.

ABOUT ME

I'm Chinese-Canadian. I spent most of my younger years in Hong Kong and came to Canada for university. I'm currently completing my Masters in Toronto. I feel there is so much in the world for me to see and learn. I enjoy learning from the experience of others.

PHILOSOPHY

Reach high, for stars lie hidden in your soul. Dream deep, for every dream precedes the goal. - Pamela Vaull Starr

To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour. - William Blake

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The past summer I volunteered at the Beijing Olympics. I was stationed at the National Aquatic Centre. It was a mind-blowing experience. The fact that people from across the globe were working towards a common goal, and were all dedicated and passionate about what they were doing made it a very, very memorable experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

I speak Chinese and English fluently and would be delighted in conversing with people who are learning either language. I'm currently learning French and hope to continually improve my language abilities!
