Education

Acting career
Wu did not get involved with acting until 20 years after her move from the west coast. Her first gig was a recurring role on Homicide: Life on the Street. Wu has stated that in the late 1990s, roles for Asian American actors were so sparse that it was rare to find trained Asians who were adequately eligible for the position posted.
From 2016 to 2018 Wu played Connie Lin in the Marvel Original Luke Cage on Netflix. In 2016 Wu had a recurring role as Judge Cara Bergen in the CBS series Bull with Michael Weatherly and as Katie's Mom in the HBO series Divorce with Sara Jessica Parker and Thomas Hayden Church. In 2018, Wu played one of the leads in the film Snakehead along with Sung Kang and Shuya Chang.
Wu was a return lecturer at Bard College from February 2005 to February 2007 where she lectured on the relations of Michel Foucault's philosophies in “Fearless Speech” and dramatic conflict and conversation in plays for the school's theater and social human justice departments. She also taught at the Fashion Institute of Technology, Cal State East Bay and Raul Julia Performing Arts Institute.
