About

At that time she produced stories including ‘The New Generation of Red Army Soldiers’, Volkskrant, 2019 and explored China’s relationship with its neighbor Taiwan documenting ‘Memory Of War Lingers On Island Perched Between Taiwan And China’.

Today, she's enrolled at the Visual Journalism and Documentary Program at ICP in New York, focusing on ideas of home, identity and the displacement of communities. She's currently documenting the Red Hook Housing Projects.
