Where am I?

Hey - I'm Jenny. This is a website I made for fun, sort of as an exercise in self-expression. It's still a work in progress so expect things to change around every now and then.

Currently reading: Orientalism by Edward Said

At some point I'm gonna use the GoodReads API to display my book stats.

Music


I've been playing the piano since I was 7, and the erhu since I was 16.

I represented Scarborough for the ORMTA GTA piano finals for 2010 and 2011. I also won first place in the Kiwanis Music Festical for the Non-western strings (bowed) category, as well as first place for the 21st Mandarin Lion Arts Festival for Erhu performance in 2014.

I have been performing with the Ho Deng Ensemble since 2012, performing at venues such as the Harbourfront Centre, Fairmount Royal York, and at the Taipei Hospital for Sick Children.
