She received her primary education at Yan Chai Hospital Law Chan Choi Si School and attended Tuen Mun Tung Wah Group of Hospitals Yau Tze Tin Memorial Secondary School, where she first became involved in drama during her school years.

During her studies, she formed friendships with Wong Cho Lam and Tong Chun Yip.
She began her career before graduation when Hong Kong Cable TV invited her to be an entertainment channel host. While working at the cable channel, she participated in and won the audition for the female lead in the drama Ko To Chi To Hing Sun without the channel's permission. She gained widespread fame after crying during an outdoor episode of the program Kwai Tan. She joined TVB in 2007, initially focusing on hosting programs on pay channels.
She achieved major recognition in 2009 through her role as Hua Ruo Bao in The Threshold of an Injustice. In 2011, she played Tang Sue Kiu in Lady Samsa and received significant positive feedback for killing Ma Kwok Ming's character in the finale. She returned to the stage that same year with Windmill Grass Theatre, performing two roles in the play In That Distant Planet·A Grain of Sand.
In 2014, she excelled in the drama Grace Under Fire as Song Lau Kuen, changing her appearance and acting style, and played Shao Bao Gao in Come On, Cousin, which sparked extensive online discussion. In 2015, she appeared in Madam Cutie On Duty, Bride With a Payout, and the stage play Spring Hotel.
She hosted So Smart since 2013 and was nicknamed "Dangerous Experiment Empress." In 2019, she and five colleagues opened a charity stall at the Kwun Tong New Year market and donated all proceeds to a student counseling organization. She left TVB in March 2020 after thirteen years due to management changes, then returned to television in 2021 with RTHK before moving to HOY TV.
