About Me

I’m a data journalist passionate about uncovering underreported stories at the intersection of politics and human rights. I’m currently pursuing my M.S. in Data Journalism at Columbia Journalism School. I work fluently in Python and R, with experience in data visualization, web scraping and shoe-leather reporting. Originally from Taiwan, I bring a global perspective to my work and care deeply about freedom, social justice and addressing violence against women.
