Pepper left the United States for Hong Kong in the 1960s to begin Chinese language studies. There she met fellow languages student VG Kulkarni, an Indian army officer posted to India's consulate in Hong Kong. After several years in New York where they married in 1970, they returned to Hong Kong in 1973.[1][3]

Pepper earned a PhD in political science from University of California at Berkeley in 1972.[1] She authored a number of political science works focusing on China in general, and Hong Kong in particular. She was also a founding contributor to Hong Kong Free Press.[4]

Pepper kept a blog, Hong Kong Focus, which is now maintained by Hong Kong Free Press.[5]

Pepper was an honorary fellow of the Chinese University of Hong Kong,[6] and an honorary lifetime member of the Foreign Correspondents Club of Hong Kong.[7]
