Holds a Master’s degree in Western Art History from the Graduate Institute of Fine Arts, National Taiwan Normal University. Currently working as an independent curator, focusing on the research and development of art education programs and guided tour mechanisms. Based in Taoyuan, her practice is rooted in local history, everyday culture, and the promotion of contemporary art.
