As a performer, Lai-Lin understands the needs and values of an artist on both a personal and professional level and as a producer she supports and protects those needs.

In addition to her professional work, Lai-Lin strives for balance with activities that refill her cup. She is a city girl through and through, but the beach is her safe haven. She is goofy, a huge foodie, Avid Spinner, Plant Mom and Dog Mom to a 15 year old miniature dachshund named Dexter who rules her world.
