Hirokazu Koreeda, one of my favorite directors, considers himself as a "collector", collecting emotions, interactions, and facts embedded in the world, then simply projecting them back to the world. I strive to be such a collector as an ecologist and a storyteller. 
​​ 
I was born in Hangzhou, China. The idea of nature was absent in my life until a hitch-hiking trip to Tibet after my undergraduate study. My passion for animals and open rangelands has never faded away ever since. I am currently a Ph.D. candidate at University of California, Berkeley in the US, studying wildlife ecology, rangeland ecology, and conservation biology (more on Research). Leading up to this, I completed a B.S. in natural resources and a M.S. in geospatial science.  
 
Aside from research, I tell stories about science and life through the lens of camera. Currently, I am working on a video series entitled WONDERER, portraits of grad students. I am also a proud chicken mother and urban farmer, thanks to the beautiful climate and land available in NorCal where I currently live. 

I am always looking  forward to collaborating with communicators, artists, and researchers. Feel free to contact me!
