Vee第一次接触篮球是在她八岁的时候在新加坡的一个公共室外篮球场。当时是因为她的两个哥哥打篮球把她带上一起玩起这项运动。之后她因为受灌篮高手这个篮球主题的日本卡通片以及她在上海、青岛、厦门的国际学校接受的西方教育(鼓励学生参加课外活动-运动)的影响
爱上了篮球。作为一个第三文化小孩的她曾在新加坡、中国和英国生活过。她相信因为篮球,她在每一次换学校时都能很快并且很自然地结识新朋友。高中毕业后,因为没有找到和女生打球的平台她在2004年的夏天创办了MELODY. 在大学毕业以后Vee在服装和房地产咨询行业工作了几年,之后她选择了去英国拉夫堡大学读研,专攻体育管理。目前Vee在上海的一家实习中介Next Step Connections担任运营总监一职。除了平时在球场作为球员打球,Vee也负责俱乐部的正常运作、市场和策略计划。在她的业余时间(除了在MELODY打球和管理),Vee经常去旅游,探索上海和在上海人民广场土司马斯演讲俱乐部提高她的沟通和领导能力技巧。Vee精通中英文,并且正在学习法语。

Virginia first touched a basketball when she was eight years old in Singapore when her brothers played this team sport in a public outdoor court. Since then she has fallen in love with basketball with influence from the Japanese anime SLAM DUNK and the western education she received in international schools in Shanghai, Qingdao and Xiamen to encourage students to participate in extra-curricular activities after school which includes joining sports teams. Having grown up as a third culture kid, Virginia has lived in Singapore, China, and the UK. She believes that playing basketball helped her to make new friends every time she moves to a new school. She started MELODY in the summer of 2004 when she could not find a platform to play basketball with other female ballers after graduating from high school. Upon college graduation, Virginia worked in fashion and real estate consultancy before pursuing a postgraduate degree in Sport Management in Loughborough University in the UK. She currently works as the Director of Operations in an internship agency in Shanghai called Next Step Connections. In addition to being a player on court, Virginia also manages the club's operations, marketing and strategic planning. During her leisure time (other than playing and managing the club), Virginia spends her time traveling, checking out new things in town, and improving her communication and leadership skills at the Shanghai People Square Toastmasters Club.
 She is fluent in English, Mandarin, and intermediate in French.
