WHY VCA: I have always loved working with children in a school environment. VCA’s strong Christian community and beautiful campus make it a wonderful place to serve and grow both personally and professionally.

EXPERIENCE & EDUCATION: After graduating from a teacher’s college in China, I began my career as a Chinese teacher at a junior high school. I later transitioned into media, working as a reporter and advertising representative for magazines and newspapers.

In 1994, I moved to Canada and attended Seneca College in Toronto, where I became a Christian through a college fellowship group. After college, I worked as an account service representative at a major mutual fund company.

In 2003, I relocated to San Jose, California. Motherhood reignited my passion for working with children, prompting me to pursue 22 units of Early Childhood Education at West Valley College. Since 2016, I have worked with children from infancy through kindergarten, as well as in the Extended Student Services (ESS) program for students in kindergarten through 8th grade at both Venture Christian Church and VCA.

HOBBIES: I enjoy hiking, swimming, walking, reading, listening to music, gardening, traveling, watching good movies, and dining out with family and friends.

FAVORITE BIBLE VERSE: Numbers 6:24–26
“The Lord bless you and keep you;
the Lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you;
the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.”

INTERESTING FACTS: I am a dual citizen of both Canada and the United States. In addition to my role as a Pre-K Teacher’s Aide, I also serve as a certified Spiritual Director in the Christian faith.
