About Judy

I am the female owner and operator of two Vancouver-based businesses: HISTORICAL CHINATOWN TOURS and MASTERCLASS DUMPLINGS. I have led public tours of Chinatown for over a dozen years and have given Chinese-style cooking classes for more than five years, both in-person and virtually. Besides being an expert in making dumplings and other Chinese foods, I am a world traveller and very knowledgeable about Chinatowns in many countries.

My business and historical research interests are closely aligned with my long-standing commitment to public service excellence and support for community affairs. For more than two decades, it has been my pleasure to serve on many boards and committees for my Chinatown community in Vancouver and across North America. Additionally, I am a third-generation Vancouverite of European and Chinese descent, and I have a Master of Arts degree in History.
