About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Adventure, network, and experiences

ABOUT ME

I'm all over the place with my foot in many camps.
Socially, I get along with just about everybody unless there is a blatant reason for animosity. Respect brings respect.
Currently, I am at a unique stage in life; you know that feeling when your young and think you know everything and then you "grow-up" and you feel like you know nothing? Yes, I am at that pivot point right now.
Facts:
5th yr Architecture student at Cal Poly SLO (seriously regretting this major choice for professional reasons).
San Francisco native and fluent in Cantonese.
High achieving academically and professionally.

PHILOSOPHY

Find that moment of epiphany, that "Ah Hah!" moment, more often.

Efficiency is of utmost importance

Bumble and stumble through a place with a tourist manual. Or...laugh and learn from the locals.

"Make your own luck."
