Born in the United States, I travelled around dozens of countries and has been mainly educated in Hong Kong. At the tender age of 3, when my fingers first danced across the piano keys, I was drawn to music. By 5, I won my first Trophy in the Asia Piano Open Competition, followed by a Distinction in the ABRSM Grade 8 Piano Exam at 9, and the prestigious Diploma in Music Performance from Trinity College London by 12. Not content to rest, I achieved ABRSM Grade 8 in Cello with Merit in 2023. Presently, I’m proud to perform as a cellist with the Metropolitan Youth Orchestra of Hong Kong.

Beyond the harmonious world of music, I’m captivated by the realm of STEM. Since 7 years old, I discovered a keen interest in math, laboratory science and robotics. Loving to solve math puzzles and challenges, I am a top 5% Worldwide Honoree in the AMC 8 in 2023. As an enthusiastic member of my school’s Robotics Club, I like robotics with practical applications. My team won the Design Award and Teamwork Champion in Hong Kong for the VEX IQ Robotics Competition. Back at home, I assemble mini robots as toys for my younger sister since young, all with readily available components for the China Adolescent Robotics Competition. Additionally, the cutting-edge strides in space travel made by SpaceX etc fuel my ambitions in space engineering. I aspire to leverage my passion for science, technology, and engineering to effect positive change.

I love reading a variety of literacy genres. One of my favorite birthday gifts was a set of Children’s Encyclopedia. Their pages have been my frequent companions. I also enjoy fictions and biographies. Reading brings me to different worlds and times.

Since I was little, my parents brought me along my family’s community services and charity activities. Through those volunteering activities, I came to realize there are many children out there who do not have adequate resources to finish their education or buy necessities. While I have limited power, I’m glad that my volunteering activities go a long way…
