Born in Singapore. Grew up in China. Reporting for Business Insider since 2021. Bylines in SCMP, The Business Times, and Politico.

I studied journalism at the Nanyang Technological University of Singapore, where I graduated with honors (distinction). During my university years, I co-founded a student news publication when our official school paper shut down. I was also editor-in-chief of our flagship journalism program, Going Overseas for Advanced Reporting, in 2020.

I am a Singaporean citizen who speaks English (native) and Mandarin (conversational).
