I came from Hong Kong in 1988 and have been the leading therapist on the Family and Child Counselling Team for Vancouver Coastal Health in Richmond for over 20 years.
As a strong advocate for mental health services, multicultural harmony, and environmental sustainability, I have co-founded several non-profit organizations, including the Community Mental Wellness Association of Canada, Inter-faith for World Peace Society, and the Richmond GreenSpace Society.
I was elected a School Trustee from 1999 to 2011, and have just completed my first term on City Council.
My training as a therapist has equipped me with “listening ears.” My approach is to find long-term solution to an issue after thorough study and analysis, instead of patching it up.
I believe in open and transparent government. I am committed to bring people’s voices to Council and have been recognized that I always speak in the best interests of the community.
I believe we should have a vibrant, business-oriented city centre, and strong neighborhoods built around parks and community facilities. It is important to me to protect our farmlands and rivers from contamination. I will continue to advocate for affordable housing and programs for young families.
