She's embraced her inner child by working in a video game company, but she's also got a child of her own to care for.
Jing is an employee of HoYoverse here in Singapore, but she's also a mum of a three-year-old daughter, she shared in an interview with AsiaOne for the second season of My Gamer Life.
The 33-year-old works in business development, focusing on collaborations for general merchandise of HoYoverse titles.
This means she brings plushies, figurines and collectibles of popular characters from games like Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Rail and Zenless Zone Zero to gamers around the world.
But just as much as she's working full-time building the company's brand, she's also got a second job to attend to — her responsibilities as a mother.
"In recent years, there's a challenging but very happy situation for me... I became a mum," she told AsiaOne.
"There's all the joy that comes with becoming a mother, but there's also all the worries."
She must continue to maintain her work-life balance and take care of her child — a daunting prospect for some — but she's confident she can achieve that equilibrium.
"Gaming and being a mother, it's not in conflict," she said. "It's part of me and I happen to work in gaming as well."
"I would say it probably makes my life a little bit more interesting," she said with a laugh.
