About Tina

From China to the United States, I have navigated the responsibilities and challenges of different identities, alongside shifts in life’s direction. Along the way, I have asked:

Amid a changing world, others’ expectations, and our own inner voice, how can we find a direction in life and work that feels true to us?

My research at Harvard focuses on adults navigating career and life transitions, and women finding themselves amid multiple roles and expectations. Business experience grounds my attention in real-life choices and action. My studies in education and adult development help me respect each person’s pace of growth, while dance and mind–body awareness attune me to feelings beyond words. I believe awareness creates better choices, and inner strength supports effective action. Growth can begin with one purposeful conversation, moving us toward greater clarity and autonomy, and a life and work in which insight and action align.
