3 FUN FACTS
What is your hidden talent?
I love to sing in my spare time. In 2013, I passed three stages of the X Factor TV show audition and made it to the top 50 finalists out of about 10,000 people. I performed live on stage in front of an audience of 8,000 people and the four judges: Simon Cowell, Demi Lovato, Paulina Rubio and Kelly Rowland in the Galen Center near USC.
Who inspires you?
I. M. Pei. I knew of him since junior high school and he was one of the main reasons I chose to become an architect. My parents wanted me to become a medical doctor. My scores were very high and I could have easily gotten into a top medical school, but I still preferred to be an architect.
What is your favorite song, movie or book?
"Unchained Melody" by the Righteous Brothers.
