I was gifted my first Lego set as well as Transformers figurine at the age of 3! Since then, I have been an avid collector of both series along with many other different lines of toys. They have consistently been a hobby of mine, providing unique puzzles and sources of creativity for me to spend hours upon hours on. Till this day, the collection is still slowly building up!

Another thing that I enjoy tremendously is traveling the world. It amazes me to see all of the differing culture in different countries and being able to visit them and experience it first hand is extremely exhilarating. I’ve ventured all over the US and Canada as well as visiting Spain and provinces of China as well, and each trip has been eye opening and rewarding as I was exposed to new traditions, different food, activities, and much more. My dream vacation venues at the moment are Norway and Australia, and hopefully I get the chance to visit them soon!

I’ve always enjoyed language learning as a child, and naturally being Chinese I have pursued studying of Mandarin. On a different note, Spanish has been particularly of interest to me, so I started Spanish lessons as a kid, and have continued classes in high school. Albeit very cheesy, another language that I am very passionate about is the one known to be “universal”. I have played piano for 10 years as well as 5 years of cello, and enjoy making/playing music as a hobby. I love listening to pop music as well, which I do whenever I get a chance to!

I also strive to learn and preserve my culture, which I work towards through my learning of martial arts and lion dancing, both which I have pursued for 5+ years as a hobby. Not only providing a source of exercise, it also teaches me how to defend myself, learn the long preserved culture and traditions, among many other things. I do occasional performances of both to help support the community while also spreading the Chinese culture.
