Experiences
- Founder & CEO at LIOHANBuilding a startup that helps families bond and learn
LIOHAN means Living In Our Here And Now. We pivoted to a digital platform and grew from just me to a team of eight.
- MotherhoodMy kid asked: "Why can't you just be my mom?"
Revenue was far below plan too. Once I slept 8+ hours and took time for myself, the startup grew faster than ever.
- Director of Strategic Alliances at SOTILeft a decade in tech alliances to build my own startup
At SOTI I worked in business development and strategic alliances, rising to Director, before I left my full-time job.
- MusicWent live singing alone in my third language
Day 2 of my 100-day do-something-scary challenge: no teenage drummer beside me, on an instrument I rarely play.
- ParenthoodLost my temper with my baby, then learned gratitude
Years later I held my last newborn through the same sleepless nights and felt grateful, not frustrated.
- 3BASc in Engineering Science, Computer Engineering at University of TorontoStudied engineering, then took my MBA to Hong Kong
I did Engineering Science at U of T, then an MBA at Rotman with an exchange term at HKUST.
- Early lifeThe first child born in Canada to a Hong Kong family
My parents divorced when I was eight and I felt lonely. Years later, telling my own 8-year-old helped me heal.
