Biography

In my prior life, I was a risk analyst working for brokerage firms. After going through a significant re-alignment of my life goal in 2015, I have found my passion, studying religion. I received my BA and MA in the study of religion and Jewish Studies from U of T in 2021 and 2023 respectively. I am proficient in modern Chinese; have a solid understanding of Classical Chinese, Biblical Hebrew, French and German.
