To Infini-Tea and Beyond | Walter Hu | TEDxMeadows School
Walter Hu's road to business success was never smooth; yet a commitment to both his ethnic background and childhood community drove him and his friends through the setbacks they faced. Walter shares his insights and inspiration from the journey of bringing Infini-Tea Boba to life. Walter is Taiwanese Aboriginal, born and raised in Soldotna, Alaska. At the age of 13, he and his family moved to Las Vegas, Nevada, where he started education in the Upper School of The Meadows School in 2022. In the same year, he also founded Infini - Tea Boba, a local Taiwanese Boba Tea stand in Alaska, that operates in local markets and events every summer. Some of his hobbies and interests he loves are hip-hop and EDM music, going to concerts and live performances, and hanging out with friends. Currently, he is pursuing his junior year at The Meadows School, and heavily motivated to accelerate his academic journey.
