I’m Sabrina. I was born and raised in Chengdu, China. I moved to LA at 16 years old to attend USC with a scholarship. My mom ran a business called "Sabrina's Country Store" selling American groceries to expats in China. I've been involved in our business since elementary school - from mopping doors to training employees - which taught me invaluable lessons about entrepreneurship and people, two pillars of my current coaching career.
