Literary Translations
I am currently translating Exposure 《曝光》 (creative non-fiction) by 李嘉儀 Lee Ka Yee, supported by The 2025 Emerging Translator Mentorship with The American Literary Translators Association. PostMag has featured the project in an interview on translated/translating literature from Hong Kong.
I also serve as one of the translation advisory board members of the other side of hope: journeys in refugee and immigrant literature.
