She is a worker-owner of Meerkat Media and has a BA in Biological Anthropology from Columbia University.

In Light of the Setting Sun, the filmmaker investigates how trauma has proliferated throughout her family since the Chinese Communist Revolution of 1949 to the present, from the East to the West. The film is a deeply personal documentary that captures one family’s struggle with mental illness and domestic violence across generations, nations, languages and cultures.
