My name is Michael; I’m 37 years old and living with my parents. While enjoy living the Greater Geelong area because of proximity to Melbourne where I’m working, I was actually born in Swan Hill – north-western Victorian town and my cultural heritage is Chinese. Due to my family influences I travelled to Hong Kong, Macau and United States for visiting my relatives like aunts, uncles and cousins. Besides working within the hospitality industry I kept myself active in connection within the community setting and activities such as attending choirs, being part of disability advisory committees, even I got into acting and performing arts with Back to Back Theatre. Despite being diagnosed with High-functioning Autism, from what I hope for is to continue giving back to society with the true meaning of what was ‘diversity’ is all about while, at the same time grappling with challenges to be grown up with ‘Tiger parents’. My hobbies include running, power walking, weight training, spending time outdoors to enjoy sunshine, travelling and socialising, singing and listening to music, and baking and cooking cakes and desserts. This is MY STORY.
