Professional Experience

I am a freelance reporter and writer with more than 15 years of journalism experience, most of which was spent at Reuters. I currently write on a broad range of general and health news for a variety of publications, with a particular focus on COVID-19. I am also a co-host of the NüVoices podcast, which highlights the expertise of women and other marginalized groups on topics related to China, its diaspora, and the broader Sinosphere. I also write editorial content for non-media organizations. My personal areas of interest include topics related to China, women’s issues, media/journalism, immigration, the environment, space exploration, technology, and pop culture (with a particular weakness for East Asian television). I spent nearly 15 years at Reuters first as an online homepage editor/producer, and later as a reporter, covering mostly business news (retail, transportation, fintech) and financial markets (stocks, currency, economy). I also covered entertainment stories including four Toronto International Film Festivals.

Education

I have an A.M. in Journalism from Stanford University, and an Honours B.A. from the University of Toronto.
