Bo-Lai was born in San Francisco, California. Unlike some of the other ORIENTED Organizers who claim to be from the area, she is a REAL native San Franciscan!

Bo-Lai received her B.A. from
UC Berkeley and her M.A. from Golden Gate University. After growing up in San Francisco, going to school there, and working in the city for so many years, Bo-Lai decided to take a trip to Hong Kong in 1997 to satisfy her curiosity of working any place else but San Francisco! in Asia.

Little did she realize until after she got there that 1997 was one of the worst years she could have picked to move to Hong Kong, given the economic slump of the century that it was experiencing at that very moment.

After not being able to find a job for three months, Bo-Lai decided to call it quits and to travel around Asia before returning once again to San Francisco. During her visit to see friends in Taipei, Bo-Lai ended up staying there and working at AmTRAN Technology -- a manufacturer for LCD monitors, LCDTVs, and plasmas -- for the next six years.

Bo-Lai is now a Senior Manager for Business Development at AmTRAN Technology and has just recently relocated back to San Francisco where she is now responsible for developing the North American market for the company.

Bo-Lai speaks fluent English, Cantonese, and Mandarin, has a background in law (so you don't want to mess with this chick), travels frequently to Asia and around the U.S. on business, parties with the best of them, and has no problem flashing that famous smile of hers at 6 o'clock in the morning, on her way to breakfast after a full night out on the town with friends clients.
