I was born in Shanghai, China and grew up there. I moved to the States at age 15. I spent my high school and college years in California. After graduating from UCLA with a degree in biology in 2006, I made the cross-country migration and settled in North Carolina to attend medical school at Wake Forest University. I completed a year of internal medicine internship in Pitt County Memorial Hospital in Greenville, NC before coming to Springfield to be drawn to the dark side.

In spare time, I love watching and playing soccer. I also like to build scale models, swim, read, eat, and sleep.
