I grew up in China and came to the United States for high school. Moving across the world at 16 taught me early that discomfort is just the feeling of growing — and that the most interesting things happen at the edge of what you know.

I studied Philosophy at a liberal arts college. What it actually gave me was something far more useful than answers: an obsession with how you frame a question. The right framing changes everything.

That curiosity eventually led me to the University of Chicago for a Master's in Data Science — because I wanted my ideas to be grounded in evidence, not just well-argued. Turns out, combining rigorous thinking with quantitative tools is a bit of a superpower.

At Uber, I worked as a Technical Program Manager and launched the company's first autonomous mobility pilot program. I sat at the intersection of engineering, operations, and regulatory stakeholders — and learned what it actually takes to bring a genuinely hard, genuinely new thing into the world.

Today, I work in consulting, helping Fortune 500 companies develop business strategies. I spend my days turning ambiguous, messy problems into clear direction and concrete action.

Outside of work: Pilates keeps me sane. Wine and cuisine are my love languages. I'm convinced I can train my dog to be the smartest one in the room — jury's still out.
