I was honored to receive the Killam Graduate Teaching Award for teaching excellence.

About

Before beginning my PhD, I earned a Master of Science in Accounting from Boston College and a Bachelor of Economics from Sichuan University.

I hold an active CPA license in Massachusetts. I'm also an active CFA charterholder.

I was born and raised in Beijing, China, and now live in Vancouver, Canada. I enjoy alpine scrambling and hiking. I have a four-legged friend, Miao Miao.

Miao Miao is my golden British Shorthair (born April 2024 in Richmond, BC). She’s very chatty — meowing is her favorite way to communicate.
 
She's smart, and even knows how to turn the lights on and off! Although she’s a girl, she’s been neutered, and she brings endless energy to my home every day.
