I was born in Hong Kong, raised with Chinese-Indonesian and Malaysian culture, and attended an International American School in Shanghai. I have not just been exposed to diverse cultures, languages, and global contexts but have also struggled profoundly with the ramifications of all sectors of my identity: from the political conflict between Hong Kong and China, the ethnic cleansing of Chinese-Indonesians within Indonesia, the increased anti-Asian hate within the US over the pandemic, to the extreme homophobia that's excessively rampant within each of my home countries. I have been constantly made aware of the intersections between all these places I call home, whether it is an undeniable interconnectedness or generational hatred, and it has given me unparalleled resilience, open-mindedness, and cross-cultural communication skills. My diverse background gives me the privilege of accessing a global community of students and schools and, by extension, their educational policies and cultures. I aim to continue facilitating environments of cultural exchange and understanding and develop more of such spaces within the US and globally. I strive to amplify marginalized voices and challenge the status quo of education and its dominant cultures, especially when it breeds exclusivity. In the age of globalization, progress in education needs to be shared, and I hope to become a bridge for this movement.
