I began my legal career as a public interest attorney in 2003. I worked at a nonprofit called Positive Resource Center “PRC” where I represented folks on their disability claims and health insurance. The best part of my job was the client. I learned so much about people and the troubles they faced. We celebrated successes and fought the odds. I also said goodbyes to clients who passed away.

In 2009, I became the Legal Director of PRC. My new job was to train new attorneys and supervise the legal team. There was a lot of administrative work too. Over the years, I have represented and supervised over thousands of disability claims. 

From 2014 to 2019, the last few years of my tenure at PRC, I collaborated with governments and foundations to implement new social services. I designed social programs to help people access income + housing.

I was born in Hong Kong and am a native Cantonese speaker.

I graduated from UC Hastings College of the Law in 2002 and UC Berkeley in 1997. My bachelor’s degree was in Anthropology (I loved primates and human evolution). In addition to the very serious picture of me above, below is another picture (side) of me.
