Early life
Win was born in Barrie, Ontario, to a Chinese Canadian family. She has trained in martial arts since the age of four as her mother was a black belt in jiu-jitsu herself, doing jiu-jitsu as well before turning to wushu when she turned 12. At this time she also modeled in several children's print ads for Sears Canada as well as appeared in various toy commercials. Win then became student of the Sunny Tang Martial Arts Center in Toronto and a member of the Newmarket based Team Ryouko Martial Arts performance team. She was a member of the Canadian National Wushu Team, and was a bronze medalist at the 2007 World Wushu Championships and a double gold-medalist Pan American Wushu Championships. She also competed in the 2008 Beijing Wushu Tournament. She was then recruited as a stuntwoman for Hollywood films because of her extensive training. After moving to Los Angeles, Win continued her education by studying with some of the many great acting teachers and even took to LA theater, performing the role of "Catherine" in Thursday Night Theater Company's production of Arthur Miller's A View from the Bridge. As of 2019, she lived in Los Angeles and in 2023, Win became an American citizen.
