Born in Hong Kong, raised in Ft. Lauderdale – I was given the greatest opportunity to live the American Dream and pursue endless possibilities with engineering and the creative arts. I graduated with a Bachelor’s of Science in Mechanical Engineering at UCF, trained for over 20 years in classical ballet with world-renowned ballet companies all over the world, and have continued exploration into music with classical training in piano, flute, and marching bass drum.
Being exposed to engineering and the creative arts has mirrored my passion for construction as I continue to learn how big of a production it is to build from the ground up! It has given me a deep sense of appreciation and gratitude for all the beauty that exists on this planet. I’m very fortunate to continue my career with Turner as an Assistant Engineer and to be a part of NAWIC!
Other hobbies that peak my interest are reading, traveling, blogging, rock climbing, hiking and getting out of my comfort zone! One of my favorite things that keep me pushing forward is “Whatever got you to where you’re at, will not take you any further.” “I am obsessed with becoming a woman who’s comfortable in her own skin.”

2019 OCPS Teach-In was a success!
Students asked us many questions about our career journeys and we even have a few returning opportunities!!!
“It opened the student's mind to different career options and highlights the factors that should be considered when choosing a career,” said Ms. Anderson, U.S. History Teacher at Horizon West Middle School, Orange County Public Schools.
Let’s continue to make a mark with our community and leave a lasting impression with the next generation. Special thanks to Debbie Rodriguez, Kizzy Ferrer, Kristin Andreason, and Juliana Milanov for your time and amazing presentations!
