She is an academic proofreader/editor, and is writing a novel and short story collection.She is anthologised in New Zealand’s first Asian literary anthology A Clear Dawn: Asian NZ New Voices (Auckland University Press, 2021). She was chosen as one of 16 writers to represent New Zealand’s literary canon (alongside Katherine Mansfield, Frank Sargeson, Patricia Grace, and Witi Ihimaera) in Lit: Stories from Home (OneTree House Publishing, 2021). Her fiction, poetry, and creative non-fiction are published in Hainamana, Cha: An Asian Literary Journal, Two Thirds North, and Orientaliska Studier.
A former marine educator and scuba diver, Ting spent most of her time teaching in a wetsuit submerged in the oceans and rivers of New Zealand. The aquatic environment is central to her creative practice, a backdrop where she explores the intersection between diaspora identities and nature. She has given talks at the Oslo School of Environmental Humanities (UiO) and was invited as a guest author to write speculative fiction for the Nordic Climate Tipping Points workshop.
