Brief Biography
I was born and raised in Sichuan Province, China. It is the province that’s famous for spicy food. So yes, I love spicy food. The spicier, the better
I went to teacher’s college and majored in English. After graduation, I taught English at a private school. There I met my husband Justin, who comes from Grand Rapids, MI. Later we came back to Michigan for further education. I went to Calvin College and received a dual degree in Psychology and Interdisciplinary in Sociology and History. Upon graduation, I got a job in a local international business. They do consulting, management and shipping. Currently I work in the consulting division. I help our American clients communicate with their Chinese suppliers. My job scope goes beyond translation and interpretation; I also help with contract, price negotiation and other issues.
During my time at Calvin College, I was the Chinese language teaching assistant. This wonderful experience planted my desire to teach Chinese to American people. Since 2003, I have tutored Chinese to many local college students, professional adults and also children. I enjoy teaching Chinese and excited to be able to communicate the basics with my students in Chinese. Several of them now are actually living and working in China.
In my spare time, I like to take bike rides and walks with my husband; I also enjoy movies and spending time with family and friends.
