Chyna has worked with top Asian celebrities such as Andy Lau, Alan Tam, and magazines such as Eve, Elle and Mode H.K. Chyna headed for New York City in 1995, where a dynamic chapter of her life began. She was immediately hired as the hair and make-up artist for “Miss Wonton”, a film by Dreamchamber that premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and was released worldwide.

After a nine-year hiatus at Brooklyn College which earned her a B.A. in Fine Art, and M.A in Thanatology, Chyna is continue to work in backstage on hair and make up styling along with her new career as a grief counselor and educator.
