What are your memories of your childhood in Hong Kong?

When I was little, my parents would take me to go see lights and decorations that were put on the harbor-facing buildings in Hong Kong during every Christmas.  The lights were so bright and attractive that you could even see them from the other side of the harbor.  It is very hard to describe in words how beautiful the Christmas lights were.

And what are your memories of arriving in the United States when you were 13? 

I don’t think I can ever forget about my first day of school in the United States.  I remember that it took me a couple minutes of mental preparation before I opened the classroom door on my first day of school.

After law school, you plan to practice in the hospitality industry, yes?

The answer is maybe.  During the past two years, I was fortune enough to be exposed to different areas of law.  Although I still have a strong interest in labor and employment law, I certainly want to keep my options open after graduation.

You served as President of Students United for Diversity in the Law (SUDL) last year.  What good things do you think the group accomplished?

I think one of the biggest accomplishments for SUDL was hosting the 2017 Street Law program.  Helping high school students to prepare for a mock trial was an extremely rewarding experience, especially when some of the volunteers were able to witness the transformation of the high schoolers from knowing nothing about a trial to vigorously questioning a witness during cross-examination.  I would like to encourage every student to become part of the Street Law program this spring.
