I am a Taiwanese American freelance journalist.

My debut cookbook, Made In Taiwan (Simon Element, Sept 19, 2023), is a celebration of the island nation that I call home.

My writing has been published in The New York Times, The New Yorker, The Los Angeles Times, Foreign Policy, BBC, National Geographic, among others. I have field-produced videos for VICE News Tonight, 60 Minutes, Vox, and SBS Dateline. I’ve voiced and produced audio segments for Monocle and Proof by America’s Test Kitchen. Previously, I was a senior reporter at Goldthread, a video-centric food and travel imprint of the South China Morning Post.

Born and raised in Los Angeles, I now reside in Taipei with my family.
