Esther Chang, ABOC, Business Owner

Picture
Esther was born in Taiwan and raised in Silicon Valley. She stepped out of the norm of a Lynbrook High School alumni by going to the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FIDM), graduating Cum Laude with an AA in Merchandise Marketing and a bachelor’s in Business Management. Esther spent over 10 years in retail/business management, opening stores, merchandising, and customer experiences. She enjoys bridging the gap between healthcare, retail, and business to create out of the box experiences for customers. 

She is also an avid sports fan and loves the Warriors and the Sharks! In her free time, Esther loves taking her dogs to explore scenic hikes, spending time with family and friends, and traveling internationally.

​Fun fact, one of Esther's uncles was actually Mary's optometry professor during her Optometry school days back in Taiwan, too!
