Hi there! Welcome to my website that is probably more of an online portfolio or storehouse of stories. I am a writer, content marketer, wife, podcast host, cat fan -- and student of Buddhism, peace and meditation.
Professionally, I am content marketing strategist, writer, researcher and producer. This includes being host of the HR Trends podcast and leading content strategy for Unum, a Fortune 300 company and industry leading benefits provider. My career began as a journalist with newspapers and magazines in my hometown of Hong Kong, where I spent most of my days interviewing artists who were, like me, trying to figure out their identity in the post-colonial city that had just been handed back from the UK to China. In a parallel life, I may have been a rock star, as I spent several years building an events organization at Asia City Media and organizing band showcases in Hong Kong. I also helped to set up the Hong Kong edition of Time Out Magazine.
Then in 2009, everything changed. I moved to the U.S. with my husband, a drummer, carpenter and native Mainer. I spent my first year studying the mesmerizingly dramatic seasons of New England while attempting to write a novel amid snow drifts, then got my green card and moved into work again. I have spent over a decade since creating multichannel content for B2B tech and financial services organizations. The goal: educate, inspire, influence, problem solve, and build community. But at the heart of it all is my meditation practice. It keeps me sane, balanced, joyful and more patient than anything else in life. I spend lots of my free time volunteering at the non-profit Kadampa Meditation Center Boston. And in my blog, I often dwell and reflect on these ancient mind science teachings.
