- FAVOURITE DISH TO MAKE?

AS AN AVID COOK,AFTER GRADUATING HIGH SCHOOL I ALMOST DECIDED TO ATTEND CULINARY SCHOOL IN FRANCE. THUS COOKING IS SOMETHING I DO EVERY SINGLE DAY AS I LOVE HOW EACH DISH IS UNIQUE, WITH IT'S LIMITLESS FLAVOURS AND TEXTURE COMBINATIONS.MY FAVOURITE DISH TO MAKE IS A FAMILY RECIPE PASSED DOWN 4 GENERATIONS- PINEAPPLE-CAKE. A TAIWANESE PASTRY THAT IS BUTTERY AND FLAKY ON THE OUTSIDE, WITH A SWEET , TANGY JAM FILLING. THIS GOES PERFECTLY WITH A CUP OF TEA OR COFFEE.

- WHAT WAS YOUR FAVOURITE TRIP YOU'VE EVER TAKEN?

TRAVELLING ACROSS EUROPE ( FRANCE, ITALY, SPAIN AND GREECE) A FEW SUMMERS BACK WAS DEFINITELY MY FAVO\URITE TRIP EVER!! BEING ABLE TO EXPERIENCE ALL THAT EUROPE HAS TO OFFER, FROM THEIR STUNNING ARCHITECTURE, TO THEIR CULTURE, FASHION AND FOOD. THE EXPERIENCE REALLY BROADENED MY PERSPECTIVE, ALLOWING ME TO BECOME MORE OPEN MINDED AND MADE ME REALIZE JUST HOW VIBRANT OUR WORLD IS.

- WHEN YOU'RE NOT MODELLING, WHAT ELSE DO YOU GET UP TO?

AS A KINESIOLOGY MAJOR, I REALLY VALUE THE IMPORTANCE OF TAKING CARE OF ONE'S BODY- OUR HEALTH, MIND, BODY AND OVERALL WELLNESS. I FEEL THAT MAKING IT A PRIORITY AND VALUING YOUR PHYSICVAL AND MENTAL HEALTH IS ESSENTIAL TO SUCCESS IN LIFE, ESPECIALLY FOR THE LONG TERM. HEWNCE WHEN I AM NOT MODELLING I AN AM FOCUSED ON ESTABLISHING HEALTHY LIFESTYLE HABITS SUCH AS STAYING PHYSICALLY ACTIVE, HAVING A NUTRITIOUS DIET AND GETTING ENOUGH QUALITY SLEEP.

- HOW MANY LANGUAGES DO YOU SPEAK?

I SPEAK 3 LANGUAGES. ENGLISH, MANDARIN AND TAIWANESE. GROWING UP , I TRAVERSED THE OCEANS AND MOVED 5 TIMES ACROSS ASIAN AND VANCOUVER. I AM THANKFUL I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN THES LANGUAGES AS I NOW REALIZE THE VALUE IN BEING ABLE TO COMMUNICATE WITH OTHERS AND TO GET TO KNOW SOMEONE AT A DEEPER LEVEL.
