About Me

• 2024–now: Building Amora Vida Lda. in Portugal 🇵🇹

• 2019–2024: Studied at Syracuse University 🇺🇸

  • Majored in Environment, Sustainability, and Policy and Entrepreneurship and Emerging Enterprises.
  • After junior year, I moved to Thailand 🇹🇭 with my family and spent a year there, before going back to finish my bachelor's degree.
  • The core business requirements (management/accounting/finance/supply chain/marketing) weren’t very exciting. What I did enjoy were the electives I could choose freely:
    • PHY 314 Quantum Computing Demystified
    • GEO 430 Energy, History, and Society
    • CIS 375 Intro to Discrete Mathematics
    • PSC 478 Politics of China
    • PHI 373 Intro to Philosophy of Science
    • PSC 318 Technology, Politics, and Environment
    • CEE 463 Intro to Sustainable Engineering
    • PSC 300 Governance and Ethics of Artificial Intelligence
  • My favorite part of college was building C!ub App with friends during sophomore and junior year.

• 2005–2019: Grew up in Shanghai, China 🇨🇳

  • Grade 0: Since my kindergarten in Portugal didn't teach me any Mandarin Chinese or basic arithmetic math (which were the skills required to get into a good primary school in Shanghai), I had to re-do the final year of kindergarten in China.
  • Grade 1 - 5: 上海世界外国语小学(境外部) World Foreign Language Primary Sschool (WFLPS),
  • Grade 6 - 7: 上海世界外国语中学(双语部) World Foreign Language Middle Sschool (WFLMS),
  • Grade 8 - 9: 上海中学(国际部) Shanghai High School Internatinal Division (SHSID), and
  • Grade 10 - 12: 上海美国学校(浦西) Shanghai American School (SAS - Puxi Campus).
  • My favorite part of high school was starting the Shanghai High-School Soccer Association (SHSA) League, which brought together students from different high schools across the city to play and compete.

• 2000: Born in Lisbon, Portugal 🇵🇹 (and finished kindergarten there.)
