Yi, a talented individual, made the significant decision to relocate to the United States from Asia at the tender age of nine. This pivotal move marked the beginning of her remarkable journey in the entertainment industry.
A year following her relocation, Yi's dedication and perseverance paid off as she landed her first film role in the highly acclaimed "The Joy Luck Club" after participating in an open casting call. This notable achievement served as a testament to her exceptional acting abilities.
Subsequently, Yi went on to star in the Warner Brothers film "The Amazing Panda Adventure," further solidifying her reputation as a talented young actress.
However, Yi's thirst for knowledge and her desire to broaden her horizons led her to make the decision to leave Los Angeles in the late 1990s. She enrolled at the University of California, Berkeley, where she earned dual degrees, a Bachelor of Science in Business and a Bachelor of Arts in Film.
After completing her education, Yi returned to Los Angeles and resumed her acting career. Her most recent project is the film "Smile," in which she shares the screen with esteemed actors Beau Bridges and Sean Astin.
