I have a Yorkie Poo named RoRo Teddy Bjorn Jefferson Paul Edison Su Hanson (RoRo or 肉肉 for short)🐻🤎
I was born and raised in Shenzhen, China. I grew up speaking Cantonese[1] at home and Mandarin elsewhere.
[1] I was mostly exposed to Hong Kong/Guangzhou Cantonese. My dad's side of the family speaks a local variety Nantou Hua (南頭話). My mom's side of the family speaks Dongxing Cantonese as spoken in the Chinese-Vietnamese community. These varieties are all very distinct from each other!

Outside of theoretical linguistics, I am deeply fascinated by language acquisition and multilingualism!
I raised my little brother as a trilingual (English, Cantonese, Mandarin). It is always amazing to me how little kids can absorb languages like a sponge given sufficient input.
I am a proud first-generation college student, first-generation high school student.
