About
Hi, I’m Ying Yu Liao—though most people know me as Antonio. I specialize in building trust and fostering relationships through communication, analysis, and engagement. I’m especially passionate about understanding and countering the growing challenges of disinformation and misinformation in today’s world.
Having served more than 1,300 individuals and translated between Mandarin and English at business meetings, I ensure messages are clear and accessible. Whether the communication is for strategy, content creation, or stakeholder engagement, I deliver information that is both impactful and accurate while putting the human element first.
While my strategic communication skills have been applied to customer service, administrative support, and boosting operational efficiency, I am eager to apply these skills in a dedicated communications role. A key passion of mine is understanding—and stopping—the spread of disinformation and misinformation. With a background in political science, complemented by my current studies in forensic investigation at BCIT, I’m focused on leveraging my expertise to counter false narratives, deception, and manipulation while promoting truth, information literacy, and media literacy.
I’m eager to apply my skills to impactful communications work with communities and organizations. Let’s connect and explore how we can work together to make a difference.
