I am the Taiwan Technology Correspondent at Reuters, where I cover Taiwan's vibrant semiconductor industry and its extensive hardware supply chain.
Before joining Reuters, I was a senior tech reporter with Business Weekly Magazine (商業周刊) based in Taipei, Taiwan. My work focused on the intersection of technology and geopolitics, with a particular emphasis on U.S.-China decoupling and Taiwan's semiconductor industry. At Business Weekly, I explored topics such as TSMC ventures in Arizona and Japan, and and the factors behind TSMC's unparalleled success as the world's leading contract chipmaker.
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 earned 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 hold a degree from Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism, where I produced a feature story about a WWII Japanese-American veteran. This piece won the 2018 Asian American Journalists Association Student Award for AAPI issues and the Military Reporters & Editors competition in the U.S.
Beyond journalism, I am passionate about music, singing, and yoga. I’ve been exploring songwriting and have completed a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training certification.
