< A diving pool we found at the Sourthern-most point of Taiwan.

Born in Canada, raised in China and Taiwan, and now, residing in New York. I was bound to be exposed to the diverse cultures of Western Canada, the energy of an awakening China, the technology of developing Taiwan, and the people of bustling New York. These international contexts molded and assembled who I am today - an artist not afraid to adapt, explore, learn, and create.

Enrolled in the Undergraduate Film and Television program at the Tisch School of Arts in NYU, I wish to expand my abilities as an artist and explore, while learning, the novelty of like-minded students and faculty.

Producing content that will inspire individuals and stimulate emotions is my goal.

In my content, I aim to integrate top-grade cinematography with moving stories and ideas. Being part of teams that produce poignant visuals and artworks will allow me to expand my personal artistic abilities and further my inquiry into the field of visual production. I want to be continuously learning and creating, stimulating the audience while developing my personal skills as a filmmaker and an artist.

With experience at a commercial production firm, I learned the procedures and process of professional-quality filmmaking. From initial concept to scripting to filming 15hrs straight to post-production, I learned it all from the industry-professionals. It taught me the toughness behind the creative minds and the harshness of the environment.

Through the visual medium, I was able to promote and document events during my time in high school. Making videos that shared touching stories and expressed informative knowledge, I developed as an artist who hopes to create more.

Producing short-films was both a haunting and rewarding experience in the way that it taught you so much in a very condensed amount of time. When the short-film was nominated for awards, it made the process very worth-while, and it motivated me to further my inquiry into the film industry and it's instability.
