About

I’m extremely eager to begin the DrPH journey with our faculty and my fellow students. One aspect of my work across the APAC region that really motivates me involves looking for ways to promote and fund patient access for expensive novel treatments, such as those used in cancer care and rare diseases. This requires looking in-depth into our current healthcare systems, and assessing innovations in science, policy, business, and leadership. I am eager to be part of the effort to build people-centric health care ecosystems and precision public health frameworks.

I’m currently based in Hong Kong and worked in Beijing previously.
