Summary
As a dedicated educator with a rich background in real estate, media, and public relations, I am passionate about bridging cultures through language. With over a decade of experience in various professional capacities, I have consistently leveraged my comprehensive understanding of Chinese history, culture, and language to inspire and educate. My academic achievements, including a Master of Arts in International Public Policy & Management from the University of Southern California and a Bachelor of Arts in Economics from Shih-Hsin University, underscore my commitment to lifelong learning and cross-cultural communication. As a native Mandarin speaker and a professional fluent in English, I am uniquely positioned to offer immersive and engaging Chinese language instruction. I aim to create a supportive and dynamic learning environment that not only enhances linguistic skills but also deepens the appreciation for Chinese cultural heritage. My journey from being a congressional assistant in Taiwan to a successful real estate professional and media personality in California reflects my adaptability, entrepreneurial spirit, and dedication to community engagement. I am excited to bring my diverse experiences and passion for teaching to the Westside Chinese School, fostering meaningful connections and learning experiences.
