Debbie is currently pursuing her Co-Active Coaching Certification Program as a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC). She is also pursuing a Reiki Master Certification. In the summer of 2020 and in response to COVID-19, Debbie founded a community called Conscious Living to provide a brave and safe space for women to tell their stories. She continues to support women with highly sensitive, empathetic, intuitive qualities, starting conversations to bring awareness and help Highly Sensitive People (HSP), Empaths, and Intuitives thrive in their careers.

Born in Taiwan, Debbie now lives in Vancouver, British Columbia. She is bi-lingual (English and Mandarin) and enjoys going for walks around the seawall, meditating, and hiking. Most of all, Debbie loves traveling, exploring different cultures, and eating new foods.
