A bit of history
I always knew I wanted to be a journalist. After a few journalism internships in high school, I started writing for my university newspaper in 2015, and quickly got my first commissions from French media when I lived in Tokyo from 2016 to 2017.
For half a year in 2018, I wrote about music and culture for Les Inrockuptibles. It gave me the chance to interview my first public personalities —such as Japanese composer Joe Hisaishi, Palestinian DJ & activist Sama, or the American singer Doja Cat — and to cover cultural events.
After my graduation from the Hong Kong University’s master of Journalism, I freelanced for a few months and wrote some articles for Vice Asia, The Hong Kong Free Press, Ariana Magazine and Mixmag Asia, before finally arriving at SCMP and Tatler Asia.
Outside of journalism, you can probably find me attending different concerts around Hong Kong, camping, drawing and reading in my comfy home with some r’n’b playing in the background.
