Born & raised in Chinatown, San Franciso, CA where my mother and father had ancestry roots from Zhongshan District in Guangdong Province. My birth certificate says Adrian Hee, reflecting the paper name that my father immigrated with to the USA during the Chinese Exclusion Act (1882-1943).
I came to Milwaukee, WI as an Assistant Professor at UWM in 1968 and retired in 2000. My field was Multicultural Counseling Psychology.
My administrative history showed that I was School of Education Director of Research (mid70s-mid80s), then Asst. Vice Chancellor (1991-95), and finally Director of the UW Systemwide Institute on Race & Ethnicity (1995-2000).
I have also been in the multicultural consulting business since the late 1980s with Kochman Mavrelis Associates (KMA) conducting organizational development and diversity training with public & private firms throughout the nation (ex: Boeing Aerospace from 2000-2016).
I am a member of OCA-WI and now active in the Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) Coalition of WI, a new statewide organization combating the anti-Asian fallout from Covid19, along with other issues.

Third generation Chinese American. My father was born a century ago in Philadelphia, and his father ran a grocery store in Chinatown. My mother was born in San Francisco, and her parents both worked with Sun Yat-sen before they immigrated to the U.S.
My educational experience in a BA in History from the University of Rochester, in Rochester NY, and an MBA from Cornell University, in Ithaca NY, which I consider to be my home town.
I moved to the Milwaukee area in 1979 to join the CT Scanner Marketing team at GE Medical Systems (now called GE Healthcare), where I was the first female minority recruit into the marketing function from an MBA school, and certainly the first Asian American. I worked there for 15 years, where I had roles in CT Market Development and as the first market research manager across all of GEHC’s imaging modalities. For the last 25 years, I have been working as a market research consultant to the imaging industry for IMV Medical Information Division, where I work with all the top clients in the imaging industry, including GE, Philips, Siemens, and Canon.
I have been a volunteer with OCA-WI for over 15 years, and have served various roles, including President, and I am currently on its Board of Directors. I have gotten to know many MCCC folks through my involvement in organizing the Chinese New Year Gala for many years as well as supporting the Dragon Boat Festival. I too am now active in the newly formed Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) Coalition of WI.

全美收集到的这数千例排华或排亚裔事件对我们亚裔社区的影响不容低估，我们对此现象深为担忧和不安。排外、种族歧视和仇恨不应在我们的社区存在，应坚决予以杜绝。为此，密城华人社区中心（MCCC）和本地各个亚裔的团体以威州亚太联盟- Coalition of Wisconsin, Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI)的名义向全社会发起倡议。目前有31个亚裔组织、6个AAPI在任成员、9个在任官员、54个合作伙伴组织以组织或个人名义支持、认可或签署了倡议书。
