Yu is currently an on air sports anchor/reporter. A
Manhattan College graduate, she resides in New York
City.
Sports and writing have always been my twin
passions. When I was seven, I received my very first
diary. Sure, my life wasn't very exciting as a
second grader, but I still wrote down everything in
my Hello Kitty journal - even what I ate for dinner
and my musings on my favorite "T.G.I.F" lineup show
"Full House."
When I was 8, my parents sent me to take tennis
lessons, and I fell in love with the sport
immediately. Every night, I would write about who I
beat in tennis camp that day and how I would one day
hold that shiny trophy at Wimbledon, just like
Steffi Graf.
So, obviously Wimbledon didn't happen, but I did end
up becoming New York's first Asian female sports
anchor. Most of the time, I cover sports stories in
New York City, but I also interview professional
athletes - including Wimbledon players. I've also
gotten my second dream - writing for an audience
beyond my Hello Kitty Journal.
Currently, I live in Manhattan and juggle writing
(with my lovely cousin and co-author Blossom) and my
day job as a sportscaster. I love what I do!
