Heyyy this is Zoey! (I lost my previous cs account because my uc Berkeley’s email was deleted)

I was Born and raised in Shenzhen City(20min drive to Hong Kong from my home, if u have no idea where it is). I finished my undergraduate in SZU and UC Berkeley, and my master in Columbia University. My focus is resilience in developmental psychology field.

I run an okay-size international e-commerce company both in us and china(us project is now failed lmao)… but I majored in Psychology and Education. I used to do lectures in schools, malls and companies about mental wellness. But recently I just got a new offer as a school psychologist in one of the best middle schools in my city. Excited! My goal is to build up a mental wellness/resilience institute to help more kids probably in 5-10years. So feel free to talk with me about psychology, education, business, real estate(my fam biz) and many things. I like to learn and still learning lots of things so any topics are welcomed(but no controversial politics thx).

Extroverted, love getting to know people’s stories. Super chill, flexible about things. Respectful, having boundaries.

Music, Movies, and Books

All music is fine to me, but I listen to hip hop more than others. Fav artist is Pharrell Williams! Loving him for more than a decade(I am just 24now). He is my role model in life. So don’t be surprised if I use street slangs sometimes oops.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

probably travelled to Australia alone when I was 14 and met some incredible friends that we still stayed in touch. Or maybe finished my 2year master program in 2 semesters.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook lots of Asian food. I have lots of funny stories to tell. I know a lot in psychology. I always smile and laugh, so also good vibe.
