I am a multi creative with a focus on writing and acting in stage, film, tv who grew up in Hong Kong and New York and now I'm living in London. I am trying to expand my scope in directing as well. I have assisted directed and lead in Youth theatre company plays and workshops. In my day job, I work as a Cover Supervisor and a culture and arts curator for a charity in London. I'm interested in work related to acting, writing, producing, directing and any related opportunity.
