I'm passionate about

An idea worth spreading
With great loss comes great power. Those who have had the experience of loss generally tend to have a strength and lack of fear to do things that others would not do. There is a sense of danger and risk involved, but at the same time the ability to change who you are and what you will become. It is the only way to find beauty in grief.

The TED story
I was always a TED fan and never thought I could make a difference in the TEDx community. After moving to Shanghai, I met Debra Kemper and Richard Hsu and that all changed. Their passion and love for TED - creating an amazing community and planning team to get TEDxShanghaiWomen off the ground and running.
Now leading TEDxTinHauWomen in Hong Kong. I have had 17 years running women events. Even did our first COUNTDOWN in 2020
Things you might not know
Rugby. I am 5'2" and 130 pounds, but played rugby on and off for 13 years. I love to tackle.
