About Me

CURRENT MISSION

keep learning

ABOUT ME

I am at a turning point right now, not sure where my career is going...but at the same time having a clear idea of who I am and who I want to be as a person. I love any kind of talk except for small talk. And I am obsessed with green tea. I love to cook, especially East Asian food...

PHILOSOPHY

Give back. Be sarcastic and funny and have a personality.
