Who am I

​

I am a New Yorker who born in Hong Kong. I immigrated to the U.S since I was a child. I am half and half as the inner me is more Chinese and the outside me is American. Overall, I identify myself as a “helpful and lovely” person.

I spend most of the years in school studying psychology. I have experience working as a teacher and dealing with the “lovely” parents during my undergrad. I also have experience working in business-related filed during my grad study. I have been working as a Behavior Health Counselor in a community-based substance abuse treatment program, mainly focusing on the Asian population since my practicum, internship, and recent employment.
