Meet the "Team"
I'm a former pro athlete on the Chinese Badminton Team, a film undergrad at Emerson College, and a current graduate student in the Dramatic Writing program at NYU Tisch.
I breathe, I eat, I walk, I drive, I golf, and I snowboard.
I WRITE words, sentences, pages, thoughts, feelings, past, present, future, me, you, and them.
I write everything that I can breathe in.
