Born in New York City and raised in Taiwan, I was shaped early by the tension and richness between East and West. That duality has become a core lens through which I see the world — one that values both speed and depth, innovation and tradition, scale and soul.
I studied Computer Science, Art, and Business at Rice University with a focus on building healthier technology that serves future generations — humane systems and tools that reflect a deeper understanding of human behavior.
After graduation, I joined Gogoro, a global leader in sustainable mobility, where I worked at the intersection of enterprise systems, cost optimization, and post-IPO strategy. It was there that I realized the most enduring impact often stems not just from better products, but from better decisions — informed by financial clarity, operational structure, and long-term vision.
This led me to pursue formal training in finance and strategy, while transitioning into venture capital — where I’ve worked on sourcing, evaluating, and supporting early-stage startups across Asia. I bring a systems-level mindset to the table: curious, cross-functional, and deeply committed to the hard work of value creation.
