She received her bachelor’s degree from the National Taipei University of the Arts (TNUA), where she studied with Ching-Mei Lin.

Her works have been performed in many countries, such as Taiwan, Germany, Austria, China, Singapore, by renowned interpreters including Ensemble Musikfabirk, Jack Quartet, Bux Ensemble, PHACE Ensemble, TCOC, Taipei Century Choir, and Taipei Harmonic Chorus.

In addition, she has always had a strong interest in interdisciplinary projects, such as working with artists in the fields of animation, film, dance, theater, and new media. She has always enjoyed her time in Germany and is looking forward to the collision of creative thoughts with various artists.
