After surviving a 9.0 magnitude earthquake,
I completely changed the direction of my life.
Instead of choosing the 'stable' career expected in an Asian family, like
becoming a doctor or engineer, I chose the path I truly wanted.
And I bring that survival instinct to my work.
If I can handle an earthquake, I can handle any brief you throw at me.
