About Me

I was born in Taipei, Taiwan on November 11th. When I was 8 years old, my family and I moved to Los Angeles. My parents dreamed of a better education for my brother and I. They, themselves, have heard that America was the land of opportunities and where dreams do come true.

At first I think I was very shy in school because due to the language barrier. I didn’t speak a word of English at the age of 8. In a couple of years, I was speaking English fluently and I was quickly forgetting Chinese. Now I can’t even write Chinese, but I can carry on a conversation with my parents in Mandarin. I ended up in college studying English literature and psychology–which seems pretty ironic now since I started off not knowing any English.

I think during my junior year in college that a copy of Playboy Special Editions somehow ended up in my hands (could be at that time my boyfriend had it). I used to think those women looked so gracefully beautiful in the magazine pages. I started to work out hard and modeled myself after them thinking that if I work hard then I could just have as a nice body as them. I believed in dreams and dreams coming true, since my parents carried those dreams with us when we came to America.

After a year out of college, I was lucky in that by chance I got to meet and work with one of the top photographers in the glamour modeling business. I started off by doing only modeling for calendars then the opportunity presented itself that Playboy Taiwan actually wanted me to pose for them after seeing a calendar cover of me. I thought long and hard that would my parents approve, but my family came to America to find our dreams. And, of course, I wanted to find my dreams and I agreed to pose for Playboy Taiwan then one thing after another I came to also be on the cover of Playboy Special Editions’ Exotic Beauties in the US.

I have been modeling off and on for about 7 years now. I attend modeling shows where I have the chance to meet my loyal and supportive fans. I know without my fans I wouldn’t be where I am today and I am grateful. I know my fans have been patient as to when my website will be out and finally, it is here. It has been long overdue, but as people say good things come to those who wait. Please join me in my membership area as I share my modeling adventures and my everyday and candid life with you.
