After being encouraged by her friends, she applied for the first season of Asia's Next Top Model, representing Hong Kong, where she was evicted for her bad temper after making it to the top six. After participating on AsNTM she enjoyed a successful career as a celebrity in Hong Kong. Among her top model campaigns are an Inniu campaign and a fashion spread in Harper's Bazaar.
