I’m so happy to finally interview Michelle Lam, a close friend of mine, so people can learn about her story! I’m still amazed that I am friends with this amazing woman, but hopefully you can learn something! With this video, I’m kicking off my Women of Inspiration series!

Michelle Lam, better known as mewtripled on YouTube and Instagram, is a storyteller, a YouTuber, and an entrepreneur. What can’t she do? This is a deep dive interview on Michelle’s story and how she hustles to achieve her life aspirations and goals.

Michelle has been in the animation industry with entertainment giants such as Cartoon Network, Dreamworks, Disney, and Netflix. As a storyboard artist, writer, and creator based in Los Angeles, she enjoys telling stories and bringing them to life on the small and big screen. She also has a YouTube channel of 180K+ subscribers focusing on her journey in the animation industry and her life as a woman in LA, as well as an Instagram of her web comics of 430K+ followers. She is also currently working on her first graphic novel, Meesh the Bad Demon! On TOP of that, she also has an Etsy store, Gumroad, and Patreon!

Watch along as we go through how she did it and the why factor behind everything she does!

I’m also starting a podcast called “Chatting with Christine: Tech Careers & Badass Women!” They will be audio episodes of these videos released the following Tuesdays. It will also include my Technology Professionals series!

This video should have been up long ago, but I delayed it! It’s Columbus Day, so I was reminiscent of how it was when we could go on vacations…

Here is the Bermuda vlog! Went to beautiful Bermuda last winter. Unfortunately our trip to Iceland this winter got cancelled, but I’ll be home cozy with my cats!

SO YOU WANT A DATE WITH LITAO ZHAO? | Reinventing Online Dating 2020 (Christine Wong)

cwong0102Leave a comment

SO YOU WANT A DATE WITH LITAO ZHAO? It’s no surprise that dating is a struggle during the COVID19 pandemic, so I tried to make that easier for my friend and coworker, Litao Zhao. It all started out as a joke when he said it was hard to find a girl during the pandemic even on dating apps, so I said why don’t we make a video and see if girls apply for a date? WELL, IT HAPPENED.

Also note that Litao isn’t big on social media (he likes quality conversations and passion projects more 😉), so I’m posting on his behalf and hence the application form.

In this video, we go over everything you need to know about Litao to help decide if you want a date with him. No more swiping, no more superficial taps, just the good stuff. My boyfriend, Addison Chen (also a friend of Litao), and I ask all the questions. Of course, I asked all the compatibility questions that girls need to know, but Addison focused on the dirty deets – THE JUICE.

If you live in New York and you’re a woman ready to mingle, look no further! Make sure to watch the video until the end to see if Litao is the one for you.
Apply only if serious! Litao will reach out to you if he is interested for a first date!

Thank you everyone! Help me find this man a girlfriend!

I’m going to spill the secrets about travelling that a lot of aspiring or even current consultant don’t know about travelling! It’s already amazing as it is that our travels are paid for, but did you know about these little secrets you can also take advantage of? There are so many perks from the type of expenses, how to best utilize your business trips, how to get the best value in your travel with points and status!

With these perks, I was able to take personal trips to Iceland and Amsterdam for FREE on company dollar! I know that travel is discouraged now due to COVID19, but this is something to look forward to!

If anyone is interested in becoming a technology consultant at Accenture, reach out to me and we can discuss! Accenture internships start recruiting in the spring, but you can get a headstart now!

THEY ACCEPTED OUR OFFER! What’s Next? | Buying a House in your 20s in NYC (COVID19)

cwong0102Leave a comment

Hey everyone! IT’S FINALLY HERE! We LOCKED DOWN a condo, signed the contract, and entered the closing process! In our previous video, we mentioned going for a renovation project, but in this video, we also discussed why we decided to move forward with our other best choice. It was a super nerve-wracking few months trying to find a condo right for us, getting our offer accepted, and then eventually proceeding to the closing process. We also show a tour of the condo as well!

Thank you everyone for all the help and advice we received during this journey! We really learned a lot about the real estate world and ourselves. It’s tough being a first home buyer during the pandemic and even harder in NYC! Luckily we had an amazing agent and attorney to guide us along the way!

What are the PROJECT STAGES in Technology Consulting? | WHAT TO EXPECT!

cwong0102Leave a comment

So many of you have asked me what exactly should you expect on a project in tech consulting. I talked about what kind of projects you can have, but what about what to expect on your day to day life? If you ask every consultant, you’ll get a “it depends” because it varies by client and project stage. Today, I break down what to expect in every stage of the project, so hopefully it demystifies what to expect even for just a little! In most tech consulting projects, they follow the standard SDLCs, so they look very similar to if you’re a programmer or engineer!

if you have any questions at all about tech consulting or even any of the information in this video, let me know!

We got REJECTED, but potential RENOVATION PROJECT?! | Buying a House in your 20s in NYC (COVID19)

cwong0102Leave a comment

My boyfriend and I placed an offer on a condo in NYC during the COVID19 pandemic! Unfortunately, there was a bidding war and the other buyer had a better financial situation. 😭 We started our offer at 800K and it went as high as 900K. It was crazy. I would say this is probably my least favorite part of the entire process because you could fall in love with a place but lose it because someone else loves it even more or is just more financially capable. This was the condo we lost:

We are considering this condo that is the cheapest out of all of the condos we’re considering but it’s in PARK SLOPE which is an amazing and family-friendly neighborhood, but it’s a renovation project. Is it worth it? There are complications with COVID, and we would also be first home buyers. We have one more video on the final result and if they accept our offer!

Have any of you been trying to renovate during the pandemic? Especially in NYC? I’m sure there are permits and construction that slowed down, but also there are fewer COVID restrictions now than before.

I see a lot of people interested in consulting considering big firms, but I wanted to make this video to also show that boutique firms have its benefits too! As someone who worked at a big and a boutique firm, I see value for both types of firms for different people. Hopefully this helps you make a decision with consulting recruiting season upon us!

In this video, I discuss what is a big and a boutique firm and why go for a big or a boutique firm. I put a spin on the video too for anyone interested in technology consulting, but it’s still applying for all types of consulting!

For any questions at all on the video or the information, please let me know, and I will be happy to help out!
