He received his Master’s Degree in Social Work (Professional) from the University of Auckland, a Master’s Degree in Counselling from the University of Hong Kong, and a Bachelor's degree in Counselling and Psychology from the Hong Kong Shue Yan University.

Before coming to New Zealand, Ray worked as a school counsellor in secondary school. After work, he actively engaged with different non-government organisations (NGOs) to provide free/affordable counselling services to individuals and families with low socio-economic status backgrounds.
