About me

Growing up in a Chinese-Australian immigrant family, my engagement with Asia stems from a deep appreciation for its culture. Majoring in Human Structures and Functions, I am passionate about pursuing a career in medical science, focusing on healthcare systems. My goal is to develop a broader perspective on medicine by integrating insights from Australia, Japan, and China. Beyond academics, I enjoy photography, table tennis, cycling, and cooking. I am excited to study abroad in Japan, where I hope to further expand my worldview during cultural and academic exchange. By actively engaging in multilingual and multicultural communications, I expect to strengthen my personal identity while also fostering further connections between Australia and Asia.
"The Westpac Asian Exchange Scholarship enables me to have a life-changing exchange experience, facilitating personal growth and establishing my Australia-Asia connections through countless valuable experiences and intercultural collaborations."
