大家好！I'm Josie and I am a Chinese American Adoptee Actor born in China, raised in LA, but I’m ultimately Ann Arbor, MI made. I'm the daughter of two actor/teacher/creative parents who taught me to be my own person and walk to the beat of my own drum (they are the best!). I received my BFA in Acting from The Theatre School at DePaul University in Chicago where I double majored in Chinese Studies and graduated with a distinction in Global Fluency, Summa Cum Laude.

My regional theatre credits include: The Chinese Lady (Afong Moy) at Tipping Point Theatre, Romeo & Juliet (Juliet), All’s Well That Ends Well (Widow/Diana us) at Notre Dame Shakespeare Festival, The Great Khan (Gao Ming) at Redtwist Theatre and Peerless (M) at Michigan Stage. I recently won a Wilde Award from Encore Michigan for Best Leading Actress in a Play for The Chinese Lady.

Film Credits include:

• Chow (Short, Same But Different Films, featuring Ben Platt)

• Seek No Favor (Short, Gummy Films) - (coming soon)

I am a proud member of Actors' Equity Association (AEA).
