Bio

Born in Hubei, China and raised in the United States, I currently reside in Japan, where I received my PhD in cultural studies from Waseda University in 2024.

My academic and creative interests converge in the domain of storytelling. I have lived and studied in Los Angeles, New York, Paris, Suzhou, and Tokyo.

My past teaching experience includes undergraduate courses in creative writing, academic writing, and Chinese cinema and literature. I am an affiliate faculty in MFA Creative Writing at Antioch University Los Angeles and a lecturer in Asian Studies at Temple University’s Japan Campus.
