I was born in Taiwan on July 4, 1978. My family and I moved to New Jersey, U.S.A. when I was eight years old. I grew up as a kid living in Kearny, Edison, Kendall Park, and West Windsor, NJ. What I miss most about New Jersey were my childhood friends. I also miss going to Great Adventure, and Seaside Heights every summer. When I turned 14, my family and I had to move to Long Island, New York because my dad got a new job. I lived in New York for eight years. My friends and I had a lot of fun when we turned 18. We started going out to new nightclubs around Long Island, the Hamptons, and New York City. I really enjoyed dancing and meeting new people. Aside from having fun on the weekends, I was accepted into a great college. University of New York at Stony Brook was where I studied and received my Bachelor's Degree. I studied and worked very hard while I was in college, and it really has paid off till this day. While I was living in New York, I dreamed about moving to California all the time. The cold winters were just not for me! I thought about warm sunny days, and being able to do outdoor activities all year long. I saved up all of my money, and told everyone that I was moving to California. On New Years Day 2002, I moved to San Diego, California. For anyone that had to move all by themselves, you guys know how hard it is to move to another state!!! I found a new job. I found an apartment. I also had all of my furniture and car shipped from New York to California. Moving to San Diego was the best decision of my life. In California, I love the warm sunny weather all year long. I enjoy going to the beach, kayaking, fishing, snorkeling, scuba diving, jet skiing, and riding my bike. So how did I get in to modeling? Everyone asks me this question! I really never thought of myself as being able to be a model until this year, June 2003. I always thought models had to be very tall! Now I know that models come in all sizes. It all began…. when a friend of mine said, "Tina, you are prettier than a lot of the girls at the car shows, you should try being a model there." So I decided that I would give modeling a try, and I made my first appearance at the Extreme Autofest in Chula Vista, San Diego in June 2003. That's also where I did my first bikini contest. So right now, I am still working full time in healthcare, and doing modeling part time. I would like to pursue modeling further, and become a professional model in the future. I would just like to tell my fans thank you so much for your support! If you guys see me at the car show, come by and say hi. I love meeting my fans, and I will always try to take the time to take pictures with everyone! Love, Tina
