I'm a short (5'2 if I'm being generous), half-Chinese half-Irish contributing editor at Trend Hunter with a degree in Media Information and Technoculture from the University of Western Ontario.
I love the color pink and my favorite animal is the elephant.
In my spare time I love to work out (I'm training for Tough Mudder 2014!), hang out with my friends and watch great TV shows like The Bachelor.
Traveling and writing are two of my biggest passions; my dream is to travel the world and write about my adventures :)
