About

A seasoned journalist with over 10 years of experience in newspaper and television, I have been writing about healthcare news about Hong Kong, ranging from health policies to scientific research. Since 2020, I have been one of the journalists leading the Covid-19 coverage for the Hong Kong desk at the South China Morning Post, breaking news of the latest epidemic measures and writing long-form analyses. I write about local stories, and also localise global stories for my readers and tell them why it matters. I love telling the Hong Kong stories to the world, and I love bringing the big stories to my readers. Apart from writing news stories, I also moderate health-related panels and seminars for the Post and other organisations.
