Hi!

I’m a writer and reporter for CNN based in Hong Kong, covering business and tech across Asia Pacific.

Before joining CNN, I was the Hong Kong editor of Fortune.

I have covered some of the top stories in global business, including the disruption of the coronavirus pandemic, China's crackdown on private enterprise, the corporate response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the Evergrande crisis, the US-China trade war, the impact of the Hong Kong protests, and Huawei's battle in the United States.

Recently, I led a team across six bureaus that won an Award of Excellence from the Society of News Design for a project on workplace discrimination against Asians around the world.

I've interviewed leaders of some of the world's top companies, including Tiffany CEO Alessandro Bogliolo, Netflix COO Greg Peters, Galaxy Entertainment's billionaire Chairman Lui Che Woo, Tinder CEO Elie Seidman, Grab Co-Founder Tan Hooi Ling, Impossible Foods President Dennis Woodside, and Yum China CEO Joey Wat.

My work has been featured in outlets including TIME, USA Today, and HuffPost. I've also moderated or covered panels at major international conferences, such as CES in Las Vegas and Shanghai, Most Powerful Women, and RISE.

I was born in Malaysia and raised in Hong Kong. I graduated from the University of Southern California and have spent time living in Los Angeles, Beijing, London and New York.
