Growing up as a nerdy gamer, the tech industry always excited me. I've built my own gaming computer from scratch and would've been a programmer if I wasn't an accountant. Working at AirTree allows me to pursue my career while getting exposure to new tech.

I grew up in Shanghai and moved to Australia by myself when I was 18. I'm proud of myself for being independent and taking a risk. I think it's important to try new things, even if you may fail. Risks should be managed, not feared! ‍

I'm always trying to be more efficient. At work, I look for ways to automate manual tasks, and prefer a phone call or in-person catch-up to chatting online.

Outside of work, you'll find me playing League of Legends with my friends, watching my favourite movie (Interstellar—the soundtrack is perfect!) and singing along to my favourite songs.
