Work:
Jacky anchors the nightly prime-time English news and files trilingual news reports at TVB with some 10 years of work experience. She won the top prize of “Outstanding Reporting of a News Story” under the Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union (ABU) for two consecutive years with her report “Pillar of Shame” and original feature on a refugee-curated modeling agency. More than 10,000 contesting entries are submitted to ABU every year from outlets including CNA, CCTV, NHK and SBS.
In 2022, her story on HKU’s Pillar of Shame is said to show "exemplary reporting of journalism that can be accurate and unbiased", even in an increasingly challenging media landscape. Her original feature story in 2021 about a refugee-curated modelling agency in Hong Kong, is recognised to be a piece that "shows excellence in journalism and writing." She also reported from beyond Hong Kong, including from mainland China and Indonesia in 2023. In 2024, she conducted 15+ sit-down interviews with officials and business leaders, and covered the China-Eurasia Summit in Xinjiang.
As a news anchor, Jacky presented breaking news including Chinese President Xi Jinping’s arrival at Hong Kong for the SAR’s 25th anniversary handover in 2023, Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan in 2022, various elections, promulgation of national security law in 2020, and hour-by-hour typhoon updates. Tracking local and global live events as they unfold for viewers, her coverage runs the gamut of politics and socio-economic issues throughout 2019 to 2024.

She graduated from HKU’s Master of Arts in Literary and Cultural Studies as its top student.
Having studied in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, the U.K. and Canada, Jacky earned her Bachelor of Arts degree and Postgraduate Diploma in Education (Distinction) from the Chinese University of Hong Kong with full merit-based scholarship.
Representing Taiwanese, she won a 2018 case study competition, organised by Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy of the National University of Singapore with her comparative studies on education policies of Singapore, Hong Kong and Taiwan and her first-hand, three-year experience teaching at a local secondary school.

Interest:
To deepen the knowledge in her long-time interest in literature, films and other forms of visual narratives, she pursued the Master of Arts in Literary and Cultural Studies at the University of Hong Kong while working full-time.
Under the tutelage of Professors Esther Yau and Winnie Yee, she graduated with Distinction in Coursework and Dissertation (for students “with exceptional merit”) in 2021. Reading the city as a cultural text, Jacky's thesis analyses the social, cultural and political symbolisms of urban alleyways in Hong Kong cinema and photography through Marxist, materialist and spatial theories.
