Currently in: Hong Kong
Hi! My name is Mabel Lui and I'm a culture reporter at the South China Morning Post, one of Hong Kong's biggest English-language newspapers. Before that, I graduated from Scripps College, a liberal arts college in Claremont, California. At Scripps, I pursued a media studies and art dual major with a minor in psychology, a rather unexpected combination that reflected my ongoing rediscovery of my love for art, especially through the lens of media.
While it may be simpler to define myself within one realm, the truth is that I've embarked on love affairs with numerous interests and hobbies. Journalism, for one, called my name during college and I served as the managing editor for the Life & Style and Opinions sections of The Student Life, the Claremont Colleges newspaper. For the publication, I've written about numerous events, on-campus initiatives, and student profiles, which you can read more about here.
Aside from writing and editing, I'm also passionate about event planning, having organized numerous large-scale and small-scale events, parties, workshops, and more at college and beyond. For two consecutive years, I was elected the vice president of student activities for Scripps Associated Students, the student government of Scripps College, a role for which I oversaw school-wide programming and student organizations.
Finally, I also dabble in photography and proudly call myself an ambivert as well as a fervent napper. Other ongoing loves include any and all food, bubble tea, my home city (Hong Kong, the beloved +852), and anything that evokes the feeling of childlike joy.
I'd love to connect with you! Feel free to contact me below, email me, or connect with me on LinkedIn. Of course, I'll be extra excited if you're planning to discuss any of these topics with me:

- baking (once upon a time, I made a mini cookbook)

Thank you for your message! I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
