About Me


Born and raised in Taipei(Taiwan)and Seoul(Korea),speaks/writes fluent Mandarin and English. I came to San Francisco Year 2004 to study graduate school in film. Currently graduated in MAY 2007 from SFSU and am working at the CBS Television Stations Group - The CW Bay Area as a CW podsquader (Cable 12/ KBCW 44).
Every week the CW Podsquad combs the streets of the Bay Area looking for events to cover and people to put into their "Pod Diaries" and "Street Pods". The Podsquad writes, produces, shoots and edits video diaries, Superfan promos, and "pods" ! The "Street Pods" are short promos shot with the people the Podsquad meets . Street Pods air every half hour on the CW Bay Area introducing shows like The King of Queens, the Simpsons, Top Model, Search for the Pussy Cat Dolls,Smack down and Smallville. To see some of the raw and experimental Youtube work of the "Pod Video Diaries", click the videos below and you'll see the PodSquad hosted, one minute video pods of Bay Area events like 'the Bring your own Big Wheel race' and 'Top Model Casting Call'.

My Interests

br /Anything that draws my attention ~ the worst and the best ~ and I am interested in things I don't know ~ things I've never seen before ~ places that I've never been to ~ I love riding on an ostrich - talking to penguins - filming my initmate, significant someone ~! Ha ha ~

I'd like to meet:


Why does the world deceive, why do I make believe, took my heel, and made, Achilles out of me.Still I would wanna be, someone who'd answer to me! Someone who- sees like a child, gives like a saint, feels like an angel, never mind the broken wings and speaks like a picture, cries like the rain, shines like the star, as long as the fire remains ~~~
