I grew up in both Taiwan and Canada where I was exposed to various musical experiences. I graduated from The University of British Columbia in 2012 with a bachelor's degree in Music and Linguistics. In 2014, I earned a Master's degree in violin performance from the same university. During the second half of my Master's career, I decided to study abroad as an exchange student in Sweden where I attended classes and professional training in violin performance at Lund University and Malmö Academy of Music.

Upon obtaining my B.C. teaching certificate in 2015, I started teaching at Changchun American International School where I co-founded the instrumental program and outreach music program for children to gain more access to music learning (see more projects here). In 2018, I moved to Tokyo, Japan, and continued teaching English and Music at K. International School Tokyo. I was also part of the El Sistema Japan and Fellow Orchestra team where we provide strings tuition to children in cities that have suffered from major earthquakes and tsunami.

Languages, Music, and Traveling are the representations of me. Learning multiples languages while traveling taught me the patience, diligence, and practice that are needed to fully acquire something. These same aspects came to be applied to learning music as well.

Traveled across over 45 countries and lived in 6 different countries in the past gave me inspiration and taught me to have a broader view and to accept the differences in life. These factors shape my mind as my teaching and performing career continues. With these backgrounds and experiences, I see myself as a caring, compassionate, and competent individual in the field of arts and education.

I recently received my Masters of Education degree from Harvard University with a focus on the Arts in Education with an entrepreneurial path. Currently, I am a faculty member at Tianjin Juilliard School. I hope to be able to provide more access to music learning both inside and outside the classroom. My long-term personal and professional goal is to start a program in order for children to foster music appreciation at a young age and to create a space that brings performance opportunities to more musicians.
