Personal and Career Journey   

How has your multicultural background (Hong Kong Chinese-British) influenced your approach to acting and modeling? 
My multicultural background has given me the unique privilege of growing up immersed in diverse perspectives. From my own experiences with Chinese and British cultures to the global viewpoints of my friends, I’ve been exposed to a rich variety of ideas. This exposure has nurtured an open-mindedness that allows me to adapt and fully immerse myself in various roles. It has also kept my imagination and creativity alive—qualities I feel are too often lost in education and maturation today.

Finally, what does success look like for you in the next five years? 
For me, success means playing roles that contribute to meaningful storytelling. I want to leave a lasting impression on audiences, whatever the medium may be. I aim to grow as a versatile entertainer and become a vessel for creativity and expression.    

Is there a particular charity or cause you’re passionate about that you’d like your fans to know more about? 
I’m passionate about domestic animal charities. Protecting animals is often overlooked, yet it’s so important. I believe how we treat animals reflects broader societal values, and neglect in this area can lead to larger issues.   

What’s one aspect of your personality that most people would be surprised to learn about?
  I’m highly observant and often worry about unintentionally overstepping boundaries.
