I write, speak, and live a message of wellness through integration of mind, body and spirit. I've worked as a professional co-author and freelance editor of non-fiction books on health, spirituality, and psychology for over a decade, including New York Times bestseller "Fortytude" by Sarah Brokaw; "The Art of Happiness in a Troubled World" by His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Howard Cutler, MD; and "Infinite Life" by Robert Thurman, PhD. I also serve others in navigating their journeys as a life coach and yoga teacher. From January 2010- June 2011, I worked part-time launching social media for the Stanford Alumni Association.
I was born in Hong Kong, where I got the nickname that stuck for life, MeiMei, which means "little sister" in Chinese. Shortly thereafter, my family moved to Washington, DC, and then to Hawaii. I graduated Phi Beta Kappa with honors and distinction from Stanford University. A brief stint as a management consultant at McKinsey & Company (as terrific an organization as it is) helped me realize that the corporate life was not for me, and at 25, I set off on my own as a writer. In 2009, I served as Expedition Writer for Alexandra Cousteau's Expedition: Blue Planet, blogging daily and co-authoring short films about critical water issues in India, Botswana, the Middle East, and the US.
I've traveled extensively, living for two years in Paris and over 18 months on the road in Asia and Europe. I have been a self-professed "yogaholic" for over a decade, and I meditate daily. I also enjoy swimming, hiking, reading, and engaging in social networking. I consider myself a spiritual nerd, and have been called Champion Joy-Giver, Dolly Lama, and Burning Man Barbie.
