I’m a half-Taiwanese Canadian activist and organizer living in Vancouver, BC. Originally from Victoria, I’ve been fortunate enough to live in many different places and try many different things, including Mandarin student in Taipei, Liberal organizer in Edmonton, and professional cook in Vancouver.
Originally created to host the travelogue of my worldwide backpacking tour in 2019-2020, I’m redeveloping this website as a space for my advocacy on the housing crisis here in Vancouver. Here you can find my speeches to Vancouver City Council, as well as my writings on the subject.
