In 1990, she graduated from the University of Michigan with a degree in Asian languages and cultures As a student, she also took classes in dance, voice, fine arts, and acting. During her last year of college, Liu auditioned for a small part in a production of Alice in Wonderland and won the lead role Encouraged by this experience, she decided to try to become a professional actress.

These days, Liu's many off-screen hobbies include the martial art of Kali-Eskrima-Silat (knife-and-stick fighting), skiing, rock climbing, horseback riding, and playing the accordion.
