I’ve been teaching part-time since college, helping kids and adults discover the joy of speaking Chinese. Right now, I’m also learning Korean — because understanding a language means understanding its culture too.
I have a bachelor degree of Hospitality Management from University of Nevada Las Vegas; as well as a Master degree from Yonsei University in Seoul.
