The Painter

My name is Wai Ching Schroeder, an artist and dreamer. I believe artists are the creative minds and future leaders. Growing up in a big family from Hong Kong, I became financially independent at a young age. In 2000, I took my first step towards pursuing my dreams by participating in the Walt Disney World Millennium Celebration. At 17, I left home with empty suitcases and arrived in America miraculously, thanks to a supportive religious teacher. Working two jobs while attending college, I obtained a nursing degree with high honors. As a registered nurse with a passion for travel, I’ve worked as a medical officer on cruises and gained a unique perspective on the world. Since 2016, I’ve delved into screenwriting and painting, driven by my longing for purpose and a desire to create. Being a dreamer and embracing the freedom to create is my ultimate pursuit.
