More about Me :)

I’m originally from Beijing, China and currently live in Fort Lee, NJ, United States for my work as a research worker and data analyst at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health. In 2023, I enjoyed some great time traveling in Japan and a cruise trip to Eastern Caribbean with my friends.

I’m a big fan of the Zelda Series from Nintendo, especially the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. A fun fact is that I’ve reached 1,000+ hours in it with multiple accounts in both Normal and Master Mode.

I also spend my spare time with my favorite residents on the Island, in Animal Crossing. Here are some screenshots showing the cozy time we spent together.

I have a great collection of manga and goods from Haikyu!!, the best Sports anime (from my perspective) in the world. Shoyo Hinata, the main character illustrated by the author, Haruichi Furudate, is out to prove that in volleyball (and possibly everything you’re chasing for), you don’t need to be tall to fly! This kind of becomes my life motto and inspires me a lot as well.
