I am an award-winning tech reporter with Business Weekly Magazine (商業周刊) based in Taipei, Taiwan, covering the intersection of tech and geopolitics with a focus on the U.S.-China decoupling and Taiwan's semiconductor industry. At Business Weekly, I looked into TSMC in Arizona, TSMC in Japan, and why is the world's biggest contract chip-maker TSMC such a success.
One of the most captivating moments in my career was an impromptu and exclusive interview with Nvidia's visionary CEO Jensen Huang in a restaurant in Taipei. In a mere three minutes, I extracted compelling insights that resonated widely, garnering an impressive 910,000 views on Facebook and Instagram. This encounter underscores my proficiency in engaging with key figures and crafting impactful narratives, exemplifying my dedication to journalistic excellence.
I was part of the Business Weekly team covering Frozen China: how shutdown of China in 2020 affected Taiwanese business, which was given The SOPA 2021 Award for Excellence in Reporting Breaking News. I also worked with the team on Taiwanese firms moving manufacturing capacities back to Taiwan due to the Trade War, which won the 2018 Modern Business Reporting Award in Taiwan.
My video work has been broadcast on NBC Out, Business Insider, AJ+, Military Times, Defense News, Deutsche Welle, Voice of America, Fort Worth Star-Telegram and U.S. News & World Report. My writing in Chinese has also been published on Initium Media (端傳媒) and The News Lens.
I enjoy collaborating with journalists around different places. I have worked as a local fixer with contributing bylines for The New York Times and TIME Magazine. I was also responsible for collecting Covid responses and solutions in Asia for Outriders' international journalism collaboration.
I graduated from Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism, where I produced a feature story on a WWII Japanese-American veteran. The piece won the 2018 Asian American Journalists Association Student Award on AAPI issues and the Military Reporters & Editors competition in the U.S.
I have a craving for music and spend almost 24 hours on Spotify.
