School Talks
Workshops, assemblies, talks, and programmes
I work directly with educators, community leaders, and organisations/clubs to bring interactive, engaging, and educational in-person and online sessions to children aged 3 to 103.
My programme themes are often tailored to specific curricula or learning objectives, and have a literary, creative, inspirational, and fun bend.
With over 100 speaking and performing engagements under my belt, I'm happy to customise presentation formats for specific needs and audiences.
Books & Art
Doodling and documenting Eurasian experiences
Best known for creating The Hong Konger art collection, I've also published two books based on that art series, plus two children's books for and representing Hong Kong's young readers.
I'm currently based in San Francisco, where I am querying agents with a literary fiction manuscript and am preparing to begin my MFA in Writing at the University of San Francisco, where I've won a fellowship.
Disability Advocacy
Rethinking invisible disabilities and chronic illness
As an invisibly disabled person with seven chronic illnesses, I work with various organisations, corporations, communities, and activists to help further inclusion, accommodation, and open-mindedness around invisible and chronic illnesses.
I believe that the disabled community is not a monolith, and that all voices are valid data points that create a composite of important narratives. For more about my experience and approach, feel free to watch my TEDx talk with fellow advocate, Jessica Chan.
