About

I was born and raised in Houston, Texas by immigrant parents from the Jiangnan region of China. I studied biology and film as a Presidential Scholar at the University of Southern California for my undergraduate degree. After, I graduated with honors from Nova Southeastern University College of Optometry at the top of my class. I currently live in Brooklyn with my husband and our adorable dog. I am privileged to provide patient care to the three Chinese diaspora communities of New York City — Sunset Park, Chinatown, and Flushing. My roots and ancestral past remain the pride and foundation for who I am today, and so it fulfills me to be of service to these communities.

My clinical training and work experience is well-rounded and built on a cohesive surgical, medical, and refractive foundation. I was previously an attending physician at Wyckoff Heights Medical Center Ophthalmology Department for in-patient and emergency care. I have an extensive background working in top-tier ophthalmology group practices, providing surgical co-management for retina, glaucoma, cornea, and cataract. I also fit specialty contacts (prosthetics, sclerals, myopia control, and more) within this tertiary care model. I served as an adjunct clinical instructor for SUNY College of Optometry, teaching fourth-year optometry students that rotated through my former practices. Previous settings for my primary care and refractive services ranged from high-end luxury optical boutiques to the popular and affordable Warby Parker.

From when I could walk, I trained in all forms of dance and competed throughout my youth. I’m an ardent photographer, painter, and poet. Museums are my favorite place to be, and traveling is my favorite thing to do. I am currently studying Arabic and exploring ceramics.

My philosophy is that optometry is an art and a science. As such, the artist in me continues to inspire the clinician in me (and vice versa). My ultimate goal is to blend the highest level of patient care with my creative sensibility.
