Born and raised in the vibrant city of Hong Kong, I often wondered about the world beyond its skyline. At 20, I took a leap of faith, leaving behind the familiar to pursue education and a brighter future in the United States. My journey began at Oregon State University, where I discovered a passion for helping others—a passion that led me to a career as a Licensed Physician Assistant.

 

My first job in Orthopedic Surgery at a Level II Trauma Center felt like the culmination of my dreams. I envisioned saving lives, thriving in a supportive team, and making a meaningful impact. Instead, I found myself overwhelmed by relentless stress, negativity, and crushing workloads. My pager became a symbol of dread—each beep sent waves of anxiety through me. Within six months, frustration and burnout consumed me. Cultural expectations and pride kept me from leaving, but the COVID-19 pandemic ultimately forced me to pause and reevaluate my path.

 

Hoping for a fresh start, I moved to San Francisco and joined a plastic surgery practice. The city’s glittering promise brought renewed hope, yet six months later, I found myself in the same emotional place: frustrated, bitter, and lost. The system that once inspired me now felt stifling, leaving no room for genuine care—for my patients or myself. I began asking deeper questions about the nature of healthcare and my role within it.

A personal crisis became the turning point I desperately needed. Forced to confront my truth, I embarked on a journey of self-discovery and healing. I worked with life coaches who provided a safe, judgment-free space for me to explore my thoughts and feelings. For the first time, I felt truly seen and heard.

 

This transformative experience brought invaluable insights:

• Money does not equate to happiness. True fulfillment comes from pursuing your passions.

• Your path is unique. Embrace your individuality and forge your own way.

• Self-reflection is essential. Create space for introspection and cultivate self-awareness.

As part of my healing, I incorporated physical fitness into my life and discovered the profound connection between mind and body. Overcoming physical limitations helped me grow stronger—mentally and physically—and sparked a desire to help others achieve their own transformations.

Inspired by this journey, I became a certified Personal Trainer and Life Coach. My mission is to empower others to navigate life’s challenges, build inner strength, and live with purpose and fulfillment.
