After graduating, she moved to Japan to be an English teacher in Mihara, Hiroshima Prefecture. She started her own food/cooking blog in English teaching foreigners how to find ingredients to create western food, dedicated time to volunteering at an orphanage, and also created her own jewelry line called cukimber. She joined the WUJIE restaurant group, a Michelin starred vegetarian restaurant. She spoke at the World Economic Forum Young Global Leaders about the importance of living a healthy life through food. At that time, she also was a host on the television show called “Restaurant Investigator” on ICS.
She became a partner at Sproutworks, another restaurant group that she helped expand from 2 to 7 locations across Shanghai and Beijing including another brand called ban ban. She became a leader in the field of healthy living, working on partnerships with brands like Nike, Lululemon, and has worked extensively as an advisor to Food Heroes, China’s first food education program founded at the World Economic Forum to integrate nutrition and sustainability.
