Personal Statement:

Born and brought up in Hong Kong, I used to be a real ‘city chick’. Since moving to New Zealand in 2001, I have found myself falling in love with the green, quietness and the community closeness of New Zealand. I believe in giving back to the community and that is the reason why I volunteer for SPCA and am involved in BPW.

Professionally, I am an engineer and love playing with numbers. During private time, I enjoy having a few nice New Zealand gewürztraminers (one of the best in the world) and reading.  I also always find time to travel around to experience different cultures (and food).

Having been involved with the young BPW circle locally, I am looking forward to taking this role to a national level and working with the experienced BPW national executives.  I am passionate about making a difference and hope I can be a voice of the young BPW.
