Summary
I am a dedicated and meticulous Chinese Language Instructor with a proven track record of eight years in teaching Chinese classes. Adept at crafting engaging and informative lesson plans, I am proficient in both traditional teaching methods and leveraging technology for enhanced learning experiences. Fluent in both Chinese and English, I have taught in various settings, including Latvia and the United States, continuously refining my instructional skills and fostering harmonious relationships across diverse cultures. Throughout my career, I have actively contributed to significant initiatives such as organizing Spring Festival temple fairs with the Chinese Embassy in Latvia and assisting Shanxi Satellite TV in hosting the "One Belt, One Road" cultural and economic promotion conference. At Frederick Douglass High School in Kentucky, I founded the first Asian dance club and dragon dance club and organized the school's first Multicultural Fair, demonstrating my commitment to cultural diversity and community engagement. I am currently an Ed.D student specializing in Instructional and Administration at the University of Kentucky. My academic and professional journey reflects my passion for education and my dedication to fostering cross-cultural understanding and engagement.
