Key to Success: My key to success has been discipline, persistence, and clarity of purpose. I work hard, stay consistent, and don’t give up when challenges arise. I also believe that faith provides direction and perspective, allowing me to make decisions with confidence rather than fear. Strong support—especially from my husband—has been essential in staying focused, grounded, and resilient while building my businesses.
Guilty Pleasure: My guilty pleasure is staying up too late watching a good show while enjoying comfort food and dessert—fully knowing I’ll probably regret it the next morning.
High School Superlative: We didn’t have superlatives at my high school in China, but I was definitely “Most Likely to Be Busy”—which is still true today.
Childhood Aspirations: I wanted to be the boss—long before I knew what that actually meant.
First Job: Data Analyst.
Best Advice: Someone once told me, “If you’re willing to work harder than your fear, you’ll always find a way forward.” That mindset changed everything for me.
Biggest Influence Personally & Professionally: The biggest influence on my personal and career growth has been a combination of example and partnership. Watching my parents work incredibly hard instilled a strong work ethic from an early age. Today, my husband is my greatest influence—both personally and professionally. As a business owner and entrepreneur, he challenges me to think bigger, push past my comfort zone, and stay resilient. His support and belief in me have helped me work through fear and stay grounded when things get tough.
