So honored to share my personal journey on the Women in Economics Podcast (https://t.co/DhJ21Peo3R). Sincere thanks to the wonderful host, Ana Carlota Martinho, and to @Women_in_Econ for the very kind invitation and the opportunity to share my stories.

Mostly personal stories in this episode:
🔹 How I began my journey in economics. (I didn't have a choice)
🔹 How I identify myself. (not doing the job quite as an economist)
🔹 What it's like to experience five cities: Hong Kong, Beijing, Seattle, Erfurt, and Dundee. (where am I?)
🔹 Being an Asian woman in economics. (challenging but nice things are happening)
🔹 Why it's crucial to support women in the discipline of economics. (we need a change!)

Supporting brilliant young women in economics and growing together has always been one of the most rewarding parts of my journey. ✨

Do check out WiE (https://t.co/dxCIhVjEZe) to support incredible women in economics and Carlota's blog (https://t.co/64H9ltQils).

What an incredible day at China Day in Köln!

It was an absolute privilege to join as a panelist and discuss women in the workplace in China and Germany—a topic close to my heart. Sharing stories from The Economics of Gender in China with an engaged audience during the book reading session was truly rewarding. 📖✨

A big thank you to the City of Cologne for organizing such a meaningful event and for inviting me to be part of it.
